The Drag and Drop Builder allows users to use a pre-defined data view to build their reports without having to worry about SQL. After selecting the Drag and Drop authoring tool, you will be presented with the following display:

From here you will need to select a View on which to build your report. The main panel displays a list of available Views, while the left hand search panel allows you to narrow the list in several ways:
*
h3. *Keyword Search* (this can be the name of the view or a field)
* *Data Source* (all data sources, individual data sources)
* *View Category* (all view categories, individual view categories)
* *View Type* (all view types, individual view types)
 
This search allows you to perform a search based on text found in the View's Name, Description, or Fields contained within it.
