Adding and editing resources

It is easy for you to create or add resources, and to edit the existing resources in a catalog using the Catalog Browser.

Adding a resource

Although there are a variety of resources in a catalog, the ways you create them are fairly similar - select a resource node of the type that you want to create, and then create them using either toolbar buttons or context menu.

To add a resource:

  1. Open the catalog to which you want to add the resource.
  2. In the Catalog Browser, expand the data source where the resource will be added, then right-click a resource node or object of the type that you want to create and select Add XXX. The appropriate object editor or dialog will then be displayed.

    For example, if you want to create a formula, right-click the Formulas node and select Add Formula. The Formula Editor window appears. Create the formula in the window.

Editing a resource

To edit any of the existing resource in a catalog, locate the resource in the Catalog Browser resource tree, right-click the resource and select Edit XXX from the shortcut menu. Then, the corresponding editor or dialog will appear for you to edit the resource.
