The File Properties dialog box is displayed by clicking on the Extract File Properties button in the File tab. It is used to select the properties of the source file that are to be extracted at Task run time and then exposed through the Task Browser dialog box for use in other Steps created in the Task.

Note that if multiple files are being processed by the Task at run time then only the property values for the last file processed are available through the Task Browser dialog box.

The dialog box contains a list of file properties that may be extracted from the source file and a check box is provided to the left of each property listed to enable you to select it.

When a Step has completed, the File Properties object in the Task Browser dialog box contains the data from the last file processed which are then available for use in other Steps within the Task.
