The read-only Object Type field shows the type of object for which rules are being copied. For libraries, this is *LIB.

The read-only Object field shows the library for which rules are being copied.

The New Object field indicates the library to which the rules are being copied. This can also be a generic name ending in an asterisk ("*") or *ALL, which refers to all libraries for which more specific settings have not been created. To see a list of files, place the cursor in this field and press the F4 key.
