When you check this button, two additional arguments, namely Local Agent and LA Name get added to the resource properties.
The argument with name Local Agent is of type Logical and is a combo with Default Value as False.
The argument with name LA Name is of type Alpha with length as 30.
Both the arguments are mandatory and you cannot modify or delete them.
