Notes:

Information associated to the Object.
Name: Specifies the object's name (string). Significant Object Name Length property determines the valid length name. Note that the name cannot contain blank spaces. Names may be made up of alphabetic, numeric and underscore '_' characters, starting with an alphabetic character. A default name is suggested for the object to be created. It is made up by the object type as prefix plus a sequential number that increases in the successive creations; e.g.: Trn01, Wkp01, Trn02.
Description: Enables the designer to clarify the object's function by means of a brief description (string) but it is not strictly required. The total Description's length cannot exceed 256 characters; spaces can be nested within the description.
This description will be used later as the:
· Title for the object's default Form.
· Entry in the Application Designer and Program Manager Menus while selecting the objects to be designed.
· Entry in the Execution Menus corresponding to the Objects which are to be executed.
· Default values for Menu Texts.
Folder: Here you can indicate to which folder the object will belong to. This information is later used by the Knowledge Manager. Folders establish hierarchies where each Folder can contain GeneXus objects as well as other Folders.
Style: In the combo box, it lets you select the style with which you want to define the object.
Style Object: Mark this check box to indicate that you are defining a style object.
Data Warehousing Transaction: Specifies if the transaction is for a data warehouse.
