# iProperties Dialogue Windows

The `Edit iProperties` command provides the user with quick and easy access to the most used iProperties (= iProperties that the user might be interested in; may differ per user/company), thus significantly shortening the time needed to edit the iProperties. The `Edit iProperties` window can be configured differently for different Inventor document types.

7. Click the `Select` button located above the `Add Material` button.
8. In the `Select properties` window, check the `Part Number` and `Web Link` properties. Do not close the window.
9. In the `Select properties` window, enter `Mass` into the `Add user property` field at the bottom right corner of the window, and click the `+` (plus) button.

12. In the `Selected properties` list click the `Mass` property.
    1. In the `Property Settings` section of the window, check the `Read-only` checkbox.
13. In the `Selected properties` list, click the `Part Number` property. Click the `Up` button to move the property to the top of the list.
    1. Use the `Up` and `Down` buttons to move other properties so that their order in the list will be as follows: Part Number, Material, Surface Treatment, Mass, and Web Link.<br>

14. Click OK to close the Be.Smart T4I Settings window.
15. In a part file, create a simple geometry (e.g., a cube) and save the file.
16. Run the `Edit iProperties` command from the Be.Smart T4I (ribbon) -> Be.Smart T4I (panel). The iProperties window showing the properties configured in previous steps will be displayed.<br>

    1. Part Number: You can simply change the value of the field.
    2. Material: You can select material from the drop-down list (depending on what material library you currently use).
    3. Surface Treatment: If the iProperty is not present in the document, you can create it by using the `Create missing iProperty` button. Then select the value from the drop-down list.
    4. Mass: If you configured the Auto iProperties to automatically create the Mass property, the mass of the model will be displayed (see the [Automatic iProperties](/holixa-tools4inventor/quick-start-guide/automatize-your-iproperties-workflows/automatic-iproperties.md) section). The value is displayed as a read-only.
    5. Web Link: You can simply change the value of the field.

For other Inventor document types, the iProperties dialogue window can be configured similarly.
