You can define one or more URI template strings to define one or more resources for the definition.

URI template strings can be entered manually or using the Build link.

Manually Entering the URI Template String

To manually enter the URI template string:

  1. Select the root resource.

  2. Enter the string starting with the root resource, using separators between variables and enclosing the variables in brackets {}.
