The APPX Data Palette overlay appears as shown in Figure 3-15-3. You can move the Data Palette Overlay by clicking the Data Palette's title bar and dragging the overlay to the desired location. You can also resize the overlay by clicking and dragging any corner or side of the overlay's border then enlarging or shrinking the overlay.

APPX Data Objects

The APPX Data Objects section of the Data Palette provides you with an expandable list of data items that are available for placement on your image. See Figure 3-15-4. Note that different symbols tell you the data type (alphanumeric, numeric, date, etc.) of each field. To select an item and paint it on your image, just select the item and drag it to the image and its desired position.
