<a href="template.html">Templates Tutorial</a> : Template Datasources Pane
<hr>

<h3>Overview</h3>

The Datasources Pane in the Template UI displays the datasources found
in the template. If no datasources are 
<a href="template-data.html#document">documented</a> by the developer,
CMS will attempt to parse the template and summarize the datasources
found in it.

<h3>Step by Step</h4>

<ol>
  <li><p>Browse to the folder that contains the template in question.
    </p>
  </li>

  <li><p>Click on the Datasources pane. The Datasource summary appears,
    as shown in Figure 1:</p>
  
    <p align=center><center><img src="template-datasources.gif">
    <br><b>Figure 1. The Datasource summary</b></center></p>
  </li>

  <li><p>The summary displays each documented datasource in the template,
    along with its name, type and an optional comment. For multirow
    datasources, each column may also be listed, along with an
    optional column comment.</p>
  </li>

  <li><p>Only partial information will be available for datasources which
    are not documented by the developer, as shown in Figure 2:</p>
