This folder contains several development resources that are
needed during the application transactions development: properties
files for NLS support, images used during views development, the css
style files used to customize the style of the view’s widgets and
any other shared resources (for example, the Lists folder may contain
the files with the valid business values for a combo or select list
widgets). These resources are organized in folders, as shown in the
Figure below:
These resources are created and set as part of the development
environment by the technical developers, and will be automatically
accessed by the editors whenever required to set a specific component
property value. No new folders can be created under the Resources
folder, but you can add new folders inside each of the default subfolders
(NLS, Styles, Images and Lists), that will be able to contain resources
of that specific type.
Only the folder creation option is presented if, having the Operations
folder selected, you go to the Menu Bar and select the File > New
option or you drop-down the list of options in the icon
in the Tool Bar. The Folder… option launches the New
Folder wizard, which controls that the folder is created in a valid
parent folder.
When one of the resources inside any of the default folders is
selected, the possible actions shown in the context menu (right-clicking
on the operation) are shown and described below:

- Open- Opens the editor associated to the selected file
type. If you select several files, different editor tabs are opened
in the perspective. For a single file selection, the Open action behaves
the same as double-clicking on the file name.
- Copy/Paste/Delete - Allows you to copy, paste or delete
the selected files (multiple selection is allowed for files of the
same type).
When you copy a file or a folder, you will only be
allowed to paste it on a folder containing resources of the same type,
either using the context menu Paste option or using the associated
short-key.
The Paste option is only available when one or several
files or folders in this project or any other project in the workspace
have been copied to the perspective clipboard. All copied files and
folders are pasted to the same destination folder, which should match
the files and folders type.
When you delete a file, you are
prompted for confirmation. If you press OK the file will be deleted
from your development environment.
If you want to verify the actual files that are going
to be deleted from the system, you can click on the Preview button:
For a folder, all the folder content is deleted.
Note: although you are allowed to uncheck some of the actions
that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended as may
generate inconsistencies in your development environment.
- Move…/Rename…. Allows you to move or rename the selected
files and folders.
When selecting the
Move… option, the
Move Resources wizard opens to choose the destination folder. A file
or folder containing files can only be moved to another resources
folder of the same type and the origin folder cannot be selected.
When selecting several files and folders of the same type, all of
them will be moved to the same destination folder.
If you want to verify the actual files that are going
to be moved as a result of your action or if there is any problem
(for instance, a resource with the same name already exists in the
destination folder), you can click on the Preview button:
The
Rename… option is only used with a single
selection. If several file or folders are selected, the Rename… will
apply to the first file or folder in the list. When selecting the
Rename… option, the Rename Resource wizard opens to choose the new
name. The name you enter is the full file or folder name, including
the extension in the case of files.
If you want to verify the actual files that are going
to be renamed as a result of your action or if there is any problem
(for instance, a resource with the same name already exists in the
destination folder), you can click on the Preview button.
These options are also available when selecting
the File option in the Menu Bar:
