Data Sources Pane |
The Data Sources pane of the Toolbox, available when designing the data entry form, allows you easily link data sources and/or objects on a template to controls on the data entry form. Using the Data Sources pane, you can view the data sources on the template, and connect an existing data source's value to a reply object on the data entry form.
The Print Dialog Data Sources directory allows you to link the number of copies or serialized items to a control on the data entry form. This allows you to ask the user for the number of copies they want to print each time
Whenever you give a name to a data source, the data source appears in the Named Data Sources directory. Once listed in this directory, you can link the named data source to a control on the data entry form. Additionally, you can link to any other object value using the Template Object Data Sources directory.

Holding down the primary mouse button, drag the mouse cursor to the desired control on the data entry form.
Release the mouse button to link the data source to the control.
Alternatively, you can link a data source to a control using the Linked Data Source property page of the desired control.
