Some features in Integration Services use color-coding in the user interface to indicate status: for example, when a package runs, SSIS Designer shows the progress of the package by changing the color of the component icon from yellow to green or red. For more information about color-coding of status during package execution, see Debugging Data Flow.

In addition to color-coding the progress of the package, Integration Services outputs a summary of the status of a running package on the Progress tab. Detailed information and error messages that are generated by the runtime during package validation and package execution are also displayed in the Visual Studio Output window. Information about package status that is displayed in the Output window remains available after a package has run, until the window is cleared. For more information about the information displayed in the windows provided by Visual Studio 2008, see Debugging Control Flow.

Adding Annotations to Packages

In Integration Services, you can add annotations, or text labels, to a package on the design surface to make it self-documenting. The font, color, and size of the annotation text can be customized for more visibility. For more information about using annotations, see Using Annotations in Packages.

Keyboard Navigation in Integration Services

You can move between tool and design windows, select and customize data flow and control flow objects, or execute packages by using the standard keyboard shortcuts available in Microsoft Windows and in Visual Studio 2008.

The following procedures demonstrate the use of the keyboard to do basic design tasks in the SSIS Designer.
