Resource Explorer, Resources Window, Resource Inspector, and Other Windows

The PowerExchange Navigator displays PowerExchange resources and resource information in the
Resource Explorer
,
Resources
window, and
Resource Inspector
, and, for specific resources, in other windows.
The information that appears in the
Resource Explorer
depends on whether a PowerExchange resource is open, and what type of resource is open.
When you start the PowerExchange Navigator and before you open a PowerExchange resource, the following windows appear:
  • Resource Explorer
    . Displayed on the left side. On the
    Resources
    tab, the
    Resource Explorer
    groups objects in folders in an expandible and collaspible tree structure to help you view PowerExchange resource definitions by category. The folders are:
    • Data Capture
      and its subfolders,
      Application Groups
      ,
      Extraction Groups
      , and
      Registration Groups
    • Data Maps
    • Personal Metadata
  • The
    Resources
    window. Displayed on the right side. Displays the following defined resources in a list or an icon view:
    • Application groups, registration groups, and extraction groups
    • Data maps
    • Personal metadata profiles
You can work with PowerExchange resources from either the
Resource Explorer
or the
Resources
window.
When you open a registration group, extraction group, data map, or personal metadata profile, the
Resource Explorer
displays a new tab that lists the objects in the group, data map, or profile.
Additionally, when you open any of the following PowerExchange resources, the
Resource Inspector
appears on the right side of the interface and displays properties for that resource:
  • Application groups and applications
  • Registration groups and capture registrations
  • Extraction groups and extraction maps
When you open an item in any of these groups, such as a capture registration in a registration group, both the registration and the group remain open at the same time. A window specific to the open item appears, as follows:
  • Application
    window. Displays an application.
  • Capture Registration
    window. Displays the columns registered by a capture registration.
  • Extract Definition
    window. Displays an extraction map.
Additionally, the
Resource Inspector
displays a tab for both the open group and the open item in the group. Use the toggle arrows to toggle between tabs in the
Resource Inspector
. The status bar displays information about the open group and registration.
When you open record in a data map, a
Record
window displays the fields in the record and enables you to add, change, or delete fields in the record.
When you open a table in a data map, a
Table
window displays the columns in the table, and enables you to add, edit, or delete columns in the table.
