FitNesse pages can have attributes that alter the way the pages are displayed, and how they behave. These can be enabled or disabled for a page by hitting the Properties menu item.
!3 Page Type
* '''Static''': This is just a content page.
* '''Test''': This property instructs ''!-FitNesse-!'' to treat the page as a fitnesse test page:
* It enables the '''Test''' button, which submits the page to Fit to process all of the page's test tables.
* Pages with the Test property enabled will have the '''!-SetUp-!''' and '''!-TearDown-!''' text applied to them. See<UserGuide.AcceptanceTests.SpecialPages.
* !-SetUp-! will be prepended to the page, just after the !-PageHeader-! (if any).
* !-TearDown-! will be appended to the page, just before the !-PageFooter-! page (if any).
* Pages with this property will be included in ''test suite runs''.
* '''Suite''': Pages with this property are test suites. All sub pages are considered part of the suite. Any sub page with the '''Test'''property set is considered a test within the suite.
* The '''Test Suite''' button is enabled by this property.
* A ''test suite run'' is activated by hitting the '''Test Suite''' button. All tests within the suite are run and their results reported.

!4 Implicit Page Attributes
* Pages that begin or end with '''"Test"''' or '''"Example"''' will automatically have the '''Test''' property set.
* Pages that begin or end with '''"Suite"''' or end with "'''Examples'''" will automatically have the '''Suite''' property set.
* Once these pages are created, you can set or clear these properties as usual.
!3 Actions
* '''Edit''': When set, this property causes the '''Edit''' button to be displayed. This is a poor man's read-only switch. If you clear this checkbox then users will not have a convenient way to edit the page. Of course they can always edit it by typing the ''page?edit'' URL -- but we don't have to tell them how to do that, do we?--
* '''Search''': This property enables or disables the '''Search''' button. There's no real good reason to disable this button, but we put the ability in just for symmetry.
* '''Versions''': Enables the '''Versions''' button. Hitting this button brings up a list of old versions of the page. If this property is not set, then the button will not be displayed, but versions will still be tracked.
* '''Properties''': Enables the '''Properties''' button. Hitting this button brings up a pages that allows you to edit all page properties mentioned here. If you disable this property users will not have a convenient way to change the properties of a page. (Of course they can always use the ''page?properties'' URL.)
!3 Navigation
The following entries are shown in the Tools menu, if enabled
* Recent Changes: links to the .RecentChanges page
* Files: links to the http://files/ section
* Search: opens an advanced search dialog.
!3 Security
The permissions for the page can be changed to read, write and test.
