 	<ol>
 		<li>
 			<p>
 				<em>Drawing Canvas</em> : This
 				contains the graphical representation of the BPEL process and is
 				displayed when the  <strong>Design</strong>

 				 tab at the bottom of the editor window is selected. The primary
 				mouse click action (default is left mouse button) on any of the
 				activity names activates an in-line editor, allowing you to edit the
 				process name. To finish editing, simply press the <strong>ENTER</strong>  key or change focus
 				by clicking on a different window control.
 			</p>
 			<p>
 				The  <strong>Source</strong>  tab
 				displays the XML (text) representation of the process. Any changes
 				made in one view are immediately reflected in the other. The default
 				layout of activities is top-to-bottom, but can be changed to
 				horizontal layout from the context menu.
 			</p></li>
 		<li>
 				<em>Palette</em> : The primary
 				editing, creation and viewing tools of the BPEL Designer are
 				accessed from the tool  <strong>Palette</strong>.
 		</li>
 		<li>
 			<em>Dashboard</em> : Provides an overview of the BPEL process.
 		</li>
 		<li>
 			<em>Property Sheet</em> : When an activity is selected in the drawing canvas, its properties are
 			displayed in the tabbed  <strong>Properties</strong> sheet.
 		</li>
 		<li>
 			<em>Outline</em> : This panel provides a structural view of the BPEL process.
 		</li>
 	</ol>

 	<p>
 		The BPEL Designer will validate your business process every time it is
 		saved. If an activity is found to be incomplete or incorrectly
 		configured, it will be decorated with an error icon (red circle with
 		an X) as for example the  Assign activity
 		below:
 	</p>

 	<p><img src="../../../images/reference/BPEL_Designer_02.png" alt="Assign error" /></p>
 	<p><b>Assign error</b></p>

 	<p>Hovering your mouse over this icon will display an error message in a tooltip:</p>
 	<p><img src="../../../images/reference/BPEL_Designer_03.png" alt="Assign error with tooltip" /></p>
 	<p><b>Assign error with tooltip</b></p>

 		The remainder of this section discusses some basic BPEL concepts
 		and how they relate to the BPEL Designer.
