# Database Object (Extended Properties Page)
[!INCLUDE [SQL Server Azure SQL Database](../../includes/applies-to-version/sql-asdb.md)]

## UI element list

 Click the browse (...) button after **Value** to open the **Value for Extended Property Dialog Box** dialog box. Type or view the value of the extended property in this larger location.
