The resouce links tab allows assigment and inspection of resource links for the description. In the lower Resources part of the tab there are two tables.

After entering the "Resource name" (leave the cell by pressing the
TAB key) automatically a new value for the sequence number ("No.")

be changed manually. You may order the resource entries by clicking on the column
header or by using the arrow buttons in the left tool strip (
and

and
to shift the selected entry to top or bottom). After ordering the resources click
button

In field "Ranking" you may enter a numeric value in range 0 ... 10 expressing
the suitability of the resource. In field "Role" you may select one of

By clicking on the "URL" field a web address may be entered. By double-clicking the "URL" field a browser window opens to navigate to the resource. For each resource several URLs to resource variants with different quality levels, e.g. different resolution, may be inserted. For each entry in the URL table a different value of "Variant" must be selected.

in the format "color://#rrggbb" where "rrggbb" specifies a hexadecimal
colour code. The colour can simply be seleced by clicking the button

The upper part of the resource links tab consists of a
preview window on the left side and the complete list of resource links. By selecting
one of the links the preview is shown on the preview window. If you press button

media data value fields or the

selected description's project, you may copy a selected resource URL to a descriptor.
After clicking the
button a window will open to select one of the accessible descriptors (see image
