Importing resources

Explains how to import elements, subelements, composite subelements, and subelement groups. The file name extensions differ depending on the resource you are importing. Displaying all resources in the Resource Editor can take a significant amount of time in large deployments. For large deployments, always use the filter to avoid displaying all resources.
