The relation of the file to the application.

This is indicated by the following icons:
- Main File
  
  This is a key application file, that is, it is a file without which the application could not be running. It should always be present whenever the application is installed regardless of whether it is a minimum or complete installation.
- Associated File
  
  This is a non-key file that is part of the application and is written by the publisher that developed the product.
- Third Party File
  
  This is a file written by another Publisher (3rd Party) and is used in the current application. An example of a 3rd party files is some DLL files that are technically used by the application, but are also distributed freely and can be used by other applications.
Filename—the name of the file.
Size—the size of the file.
Signature—the signature is a checksum of the first 8 Kilobytes of a file.
Exe Type—the type of executable file (for example, Win32 exe, Linux x86 ELF, or SPARC ELF).
ID—the unique identifier for the file entry. This column is only shown if the Show ID Column option was enabled in the SAI Editor Options dialog. See Setting Properties for the SAI Editor for more information.
Publisher—the publisher of this file.
Application—the application that this file belongs to.
App Type—the type of the application (for example, Word Processor or Spreadsheet).
Release—the software release that this file belongs to.
Version—the software version that this file belongs to
Language—the language of the application version that this file belongs to.
OS —the operating system on which the application version that this file belongs to runs.

Editing the Properties for Files in the Files Tab

Only one option is available for the Files tab. This is the Properties option.

To edit the properties for a file:

Expand the tree to select the instance of the file.
Right-click the file to be edited, and select the Properties option.

The File Properties box appears.

Edit the details as required.
- Size
- The size of the file
- Care about Size
  
  When this option is enabled, the size of the file is used as a recognition criteria. When disabled, file size will not be used in recognition and N/A will be displayed in the size column.
  
  Note Be careful when disabling this setting, especially for main files. If the setting is disabled, only the match on the file name is needed to produce a good file match – and if the file is main, simply the presence of the file in the scan file will cause the application to be recognized.
- Relation to App
  
  The Relation to App shows whether the file is a Main, Associated or 3rd Party file. See Viewing Information on the Files Tab for definitions of these terms.
- Number of Occurrences
  
  Sets the number of occurrences of the file in the installation of the application. This option is only applicable to main files.It is useful in those cases where the same file that is chosen as main appears multiple times in the application’s installation. This is usually rare, so the default value of 1 is appropriate in most cases.For example, if the main file occurs twice in the same installation, set this value to two. If Report Multiple Installations of the Same Version setting of the SAI recognition options is enabled, it will cause only one installation of the application to be reported for every two occurrences of the main file.
  
  Note The value range for Number of Occurrences in SAI Editor is 1-9.
- Signature
  
  The signature is a checksum of the first 8 Kilobytes of a file.
- Exe File Type
  
  The type of executable file (for example, Win32 exe, Linux x86 ELF, or SPARC ELF).
- Version Data
  
  The combination of key version data fields of the file. It is automatically populated and you are not recommended to modify it manually.
Click the OK button to complete the edit.
