Sheet sets, subsets,
and sheets include several types of information. This information,
called properties, includes titles, descriptions, file paths, and custom
properties that you define.
Different Properties for
Different Levels (Owners)
Sheet sets, subsets, and sheets represent different
levels of organization, and each of these includes different types
of properties. You specify the values for these properties when
you create the sheet set, subset, or sheet.
In
addition, you can define custom properties for a sheet and a sheet
set. The values for custom properties for sheets are typically specific
to each sheet. For example, a custom property for a sheet might
include the name of the designer. The values for custom properties
for a sheet set are typically specific to a project. For example,
a custom property for a sheet set might include the contract number.
You cannot create custom properties for subsets.

can view and edit properties from the Sheet List tab by right-clicking
the name of the sheet set, subset, or sheet. On the shortcut menu,

the values of the properties by clicking a value.
