File Properties dialog

The File Properties dialog shows the characteristics of the template, such as the file name, author, creation date and keywords. It is also possible to add custom properties; customer name, for example.
To open the File Properties dialog, select File > Properties.

When a template report is generated, the file properties are part of it (see Exporting a template report).
The properties are available in scripts via the template object; see the Script API: template.
