Introduction

When working with project data, it's important to be able to open and view files to access the information you need. Most data management systems allow you to select a file to open or view its properties. This feature is particularly useful when you need to quickly access information about a file without actually opening it.

Steps to select a file to open or view its properties

Step 1: Navigate to the file location

The first step is to navigate to the file location using your data management system's file explorer. This may involve selecting a project folder or a specific directory where the file is located.

Step 2: Highlight the file

Once you've navigated to the file location, you can highlight the file you want to open or view its properties. To do this, click on the file to select it. The file should be highlighted to indicate that it has been selected.

Step 3: Right-click on the file

After highlighting the file, you can right-click on it to open a context menu. This menu will display a list of options, including "Open" and "Properties".

Step 4: Select "Open" or "Properties"

To open the file, select "Open" from the context menu. This will launch the default program associated with the file type. To view the file properties, select "Properties" from the context menu. This will display a dialog box with information about the file, such as its size, location, and creation date.
