[!INCLUDE[ssIS](../includes/ssis-md.md)] Designer has five permanent tabs: one each for building package control flow, data flows, parameters, and event handlers, and one tab for viewing the contents of a package. At run time a sixth tab appears that shows the execution progress of a package while it is running and the execution results after it finishes.

6465
In addition, [!INCLUDE[ssIS](../includes/ssis-md.md)] Designer includes the Connection Managers area for adding and configuring the connection managers that a package uses to connect to data.

### Control Flow Tab
67-
You construct the control flow in a package on the design surface of the **Control Flow** tab. Drag items from **Toolbox** to the design surface and connect them into a control flow by clicking the icon for the item, and then dragging the arrow from one item to another.

### Data Flow Tab
72-
If a package contains a Data flow task, you can add data flows to the package. You construct the data flows in a package on the design surface of the **Data Flow** tab. Drag items from **Toolbox** to the design surface and connect them into a data flow by clicking the icon for the item, and then dragging the arrow from one item to another.

### Parameters Tab
77-
Integration Services (SSIS) parameters allow you to assign values to properties within packages at the time of package execution. You can create project parameters at the project level and package parameters at the package level. Project parameters are used to supply any external input the project receives to one or more packages in the project. Package parameters allow you to modify package execution without having to edit and redeploy the package. This tab allows you to manage package parameters.

> Parameters are available only to projects developed for the project deployment model. Therefore, you will see the Parameters tab only for packages that are part of a project configured to use the project deployment model.

### Event Handlers Tab
85-
You construct the events in a package on the design surface of the **Event Handlers** tab. On the **Event Handlers** tab, you select the package or package object that you want to create an event handler for, and then select the event to associate with the event handler. An event handler has a control flow and optional data flows.

### Package Explorer Tab
90-
Packages can be complex, including many tasks, connection managers, variables, and other elements. The explorer view of the package lets you see a complete list of package elements.

### Progress/Execution Result Tab
95-
While a package is running, the **Progress** tab shows the execution progress of the package. After the package has finished running, the execution results remain available on the **Execution Result** tab.

> [!NOTE]

> To enable or disable the display of messages on the **Progress** tab, toggle the **Debug Progress Reporting** option on the **SSIS** menu.

#### Connection Managers Area
101-
You add and modify the connection managers that a package uses in the **Connection Managers** area. [!INCLUDE[ssISnoversion](../includes/ssisnoversion-md.md)] includes connection managers to connect to a variety of data sources, such as text files, OLE DB databases, and .NET providers.
