# Data Explorer

Data Explorer is showing a statement of all existing components, variables, and actions allowing to reference correct annotations and functions.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/f9m7tJv7utylq8Nm4TBi" alt="Data Explorer panel"></div>

Referencing values have always kept the structure of nested elements.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Referencing Values" %}
![](/files/VrDhcbwudSdqzmK2HTCt)

```
task.data.name
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Associating Component Value" %}
![](/files/I5HiexWSsYdwtprsK4Ic)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Output" %}
![](/files/feEuCl9NJSlorhUVxqrE)
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Any associated function of a current component is marked and can be called by updating the state of a required event.
