To add a new data structure to the component you are editing:
1. Click an item in the New Components drawer of the palette.
2. Move the cursor to the area of the canvas where you want to place the item, and click again.
Depending on the component type, you must place it either inside a component rectangle (for example, when adding a column to a table) or on a blank area of the canvas (for example, when adding a temp table to a ProDataSet.) The cursor appears as an arrow when it is over a valid area to place the component.
3. New components appear in the diagram with default names. To change the name of a component, click the name once to select it, click it again to make it editable, and type the new name. Alternatively, select the component whose name you want to change, and edit its Name value in the Properties view.
