Adding a new Resource

This section explains how to create and add a new Resource.

To create and add a new Resource perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the Resources View is visible. If it is not visible, open it from the Window->Show View->Resources menu.

  2. You will see a Resources tree view with a group named "Resources". This is the root group. Right-clicking on this group allows you to add either a new sub-group or a new Resource. You may manage your Resources in groups if you wish.


    The Resources View

  3. Add a Resource to the root folder or to a folder that you have created, by selecting New->Resource from the right-click menu or by selecting the option from the main File->New->Resource menu.

  4. A "New Resource" wizard will appear. Give your Resource a name. This is the name that will appear in the Resources View and has no meaning outside of the Editor. Note that you cannot use a name that already exists for another Resource in the same Group folder. If the Resource is for a local file, then select the "Local File" option and then select the file by clicking the "Browse..." button. If the Resource is for an online web resource then select the "Online web link" option. In the wizard dialog, select the parent group to which you wish to add the Resource. If you have just started you will only see the "Resources" group. Click the "Finish" button.

  5. The new Resource will be inserted in the Resources View and the Resource Editor will automatically be opened.

  6. You may now edit the properties and add your own notes for this Resource. For more information, see the rest of this Help Guide.
