There are a number of properties you can set for your Perspective projects within the Designer. For example, there are properties for setting security levels, configuring how the sessions receive updates, and more.
To access the Project Properties, in the Designer, click on Project tab on the menu bar. Then select Project Properties.
Project properties span several functional areas each containing settings applicable to that area. Scroll down to the Perspective section.
These general properties apply to the Perspective Sessions.
