Click the Data Source tab to view the list of data sources.

Click Add Data Source then identify the type as one of:

  • Database for a database table or view

You can drag and drop files from Windows Explorer onto the Data Sources List. Drag and Drop supports the following data source types:

  • Dropping a Text File (.txt) creates a Fixed Format data source.

  • Dropping a DBF File (.dbf) creates a DBF data source.
