Enable Linked Catalog

Select to link the selected resources with a catalog. Not available when the selected resources are in the root of the server resource tree.

When you link a resource with a catalog, even if the resource and the catalog are not in the same folder, Server can still run the resource with the catalog.

This property works on reports, library components, and folders. When you link a folder with a catalog, reports, library components, and folders in the folder can then inherit the linked catalog from the folder once you enable their Enable Linked Catalog properties.

• Use Specified
  Select to link the resources with a catalog in the server resource tree.
  • Select Another Catalog
    Select to open the Select Another Catalog dialog box, and then select another catalog.
• Use Inherited
  Select to link the resources with the linked catalog inherited from their parent folder.

  You cannot select this property if the parent folder of the selected resources does not enable linked catalog.

Apply Archive Policy

Select to apply an archive policy to versions of the selected resources.

• Archive as New Version
  Select if you want to use multiple versions for the resources.
  • Maximum Number of Versions
    Specify the maximum number of versions that Server can list in the version tables of the resources. The default value 0 means that the version number is unlimited.
• Replace Old Version
  Select to replace the old version when Server generates a new version.
