If the data sources are compatible, then the list of updated data
items is displayed in the
Data tab. Being
compatible means that every data item that is defined in the original
data source that is being replaced has to be defined in the new replacement
data source. The data items must share the same names (which is not
the same thing as the labels). The replacement data source can have
additional data items. The additional data items are displayed in
the
Data tab when the data source is replaced.
If the data sources
are not compatible, a message is displayed.
