Viewing and Editing Package Attributes
Software Manager Reference
Use the Move buttons to move packages back and forth between the Packages
in Group and Packages not in Group lists.
Select a different parent group from Parent.
Delete the group by clicking Delete Group.
Change the package inheritance by making a new selection in Inheritance.
This affects all groups, not just the one you are editing.
When you add a package that has a supersedence relationship or click the
Check Supersedence button, the Superseding Packages dialog box appears.
Complete the dialog box and click OK.

To view and edit package attributes
1.
If multiple databases are open, select a database in the Applications/Packages
pane.
Note
Be sure to click a package; you cannot display attributes for an application.
2.
Select Packages menu > Attributes.
The Package Attributes dialog box appears.
3.
Click the General tab and view or edit the following information.
Application
Change this to rename the application in the Software Manager database. This
changes the application name for the selected package only and not for other
packages within the application. If an application with this name already exists
in the Software Manager database, this package is moved to that application. If
that application already has a package with the same name, a 1 is added to the
name of the package you move.
This does not change the application name in the installation file.
Package
Change this to rename the package in the Software Manager database. This
does not change the package name in the Workbench project or the installation
file.
Package Meta Data
The Package Meta Data section contains both predefined and custom meta
data fields. To edit custom meta data, click in the Value column and enter or
select a value. If the field requires a URL, include http:// or other tag (mailto:,
ftp:, file:) so that the field will become an active hyperlink on the Package pane.
The predefined meta data is read-only. To edit predefined meta data, use the
Product Details page in Windows Installer Editor.
If no meta data values are enabled, it means that custom meta data fields have
not been defined.
