## 8.3. Displaying Objects

You can use the (More) > Display menu to display all of the information that is associated with an object. The display options that are available for an object depend on its type. Information that can be displayed for an object can be in the form of a list of objects that are contained within a folder, file contents, permissions that are set for the object, properties associated with it, dependencies and revision history.

Some common display actions are presented in the sections that follow.

- Displaying Folder Contents
- Displaying the Content of a File
- Displaying Object Properties
- Displaying the Permissions on an Object
- Displaying an Object’s Dependencies
- Displaying an Object's Usage
- Displaying Revision History
- Viewing Simulation Models and Images
- Displaying a Simulation Details Report

For `Folder` objects, three display options are available: List, Details and Discussions. List shows the list of objects contained within the folder and includes attributes such as name, size, type, and so on for each object. You can reverse the sorting of the list by clicking the arrow next to the Name label. Details displays the folder properties, and Discussions shows any discussions that have been started about the folder.

You can invoke the Display action menu in several ways:

- Select the object and select > (More) > Display > `display option` from the action toolbar.

- Right-click the object and select More > Display > `display option` from the context menu.

- Select the object and select the different tabs along the bottom of the file list window.

Note that your display choices will be expanded if you have a lifecycle defined for the object, the object is under version control or exclusive control, and so on. Figure 6.1: Example of Fluent Case Properties shows an example of displayed properties for a Fluent case file.
