This property specifies that a profile Package is browsable. Modeler creates a pane for each browsable profile Package in a model.
By default, the Browsable check box is cleared.
This property is set on the Options tab of a Package's Property Pages.
After selecting the Browsable check box, Modeler creates a pane for the Package only after refreshing the explorer views (F10) or closing or reopening the model.
To change the Browsable property, you must have Owner access permissions to the Package.
