Peek stage: Properties tab

Use the Properties tab to specify how the Peek stage operates.

The Properties tab allows you to specify properties which determine what the stage actually does. Some of the properties are mandatory, although many have default settings. Properties without default settings appear in the warning color (red by default) and turn black when you supply a value for them.

The following table gives a quick reference list of the properties and their attributes. A more detailed description of each property follows.
