4.6 Object Info page

4.6.1 Editing object details
4.6.2 Version information
4.6.3 Access rights
4.6.4 Object history

BSCW generates and maintains a wealth of descriptive information on any object (Folder, Discussion, Document, BSCW group, user etc.) it manages. Some of the items may be edited by a user who has the necessary access rights, others are determined and updated automatically by BSCW. While a few items, e. g. type and name of an object or the user name of its owner, are displayed in various contexts in the HTML-based user interface, it is the Info page of an object that brings together all the information that BSCW maintains about an object.

In four sections this page supplies some technical information about the object, shows the version history of versioned Documents, current access rights and the object's history.

The contents of the Info page may vary depending on the type of object. The most complex Info page is that for a Document under version control, which is discussed in sections 4.6.1 to 4.6.4. However, this discussion does not pertain to the Info page of a user. See section 2.4 and section 4.5.1.1 for information on the user Info page.
