The Resources panel

The Resources Panel displays the Data pane in the upper half of the panel and the Query Design pane, with both a filter area and a query area, in the lower half of the panel by default. See Add Data Source Fields for detailed instructions on using the Resources panel to add and manipulate fields in your templates.

The Data pane, which contains all the fields from the selected data sources, is always displayed. You can manually adjust the size of the Resources Panel and Results Panel by clicking and dragging the border between the two panels in either direction.

In the Resources panel, each field has an image associated with it. The following table displays each image and describes what it represents.

The Query Design pane is made up of the filter area and the query area. In Query Design view, the Resources Panel displays the Data pane only. The Query Design pane is expanded and shows in the Results panel.
