===Elements pane===__NOEDITSECTION__
The '''elements pane''' is located on the left side of the Data Entry Form Template Designer window. The pane contains two tabs: the Source Tree tab and the Logical Tree tab. 
The Source Tree tab contains a tree structure that displays:
*Item folders that contain data categories and item attributes 
*A ''Tool Folder'' that contains tools for adding text, lines, icons, and scribe panels to the Data Entry Form template
*A ''Template Folder'' that contains Inspiration Data Entry Forms that were included with IMSMA and Data Entry Form templates that you have created. The Inspiration Data Entry Forms included with IMSMA are contained in the ''Default Templates'' folder. Data Entry Form templates that you have created are contained in the ''My Templates'' folder. 

By default, the folders in the Source Tree tab are collapsed so that their contents are hidden when the Data Entry Form Template Designer window opens. To expand a collapsed folder so that you can view its contents, double-click the folder name, or single-click on the [[File:Expand.jpg]]. To collapse an expanded folder, double-click the folder name, or single-click on the [[File:Collapse.jpg]].

The Logical Tree tab provides a visual representation of from which item attributes that you have added to the Data Entry Form template are from and which database field that is used. The Logical Tree allows you to ensure that the item attributes that you intend to collect data for are being used in the template.

===Design pane===__NOEDITSECTION__
The '''design pane''' is the section of the Data Entry Form Template Designer window where you arrange the fields, text, and images you would like to include in your Data Entry Form template. 
The design pane is your workspace for creating Data Entry Form templates. A scroll bar on the right of the pane allows you to scroll the page(s) of the Data Entry Form.
