The App Inspector
The App Inspector is your best friend during development as it provides a complete overview of your App.
It is organized into Tabs. Each Tab is relevant to a particular workspace. You can double click a Tab to detach it into its own floating window.
Clicking the small icon on the far right of the App Inspector title bar will detach it into its own floating window.
Double clicking the window title bar when it is floating will attach it back into place.
The Data Files Tab
The Data Files Tab contains file lists pertaining to the Data Workspace.
Databases
The Databases tab contains the Database Names panel with a list of available databases.
Pro Tip
If you have a project open you will only see the databases that have been added to that project.
