Navigate to **All** > **Now Experience Framework** > **UI Builder**. 2. Open an experience to work in or create an experience by selecting **Create > Experience**. See [Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/ui-builder/work-experiences.md) for more information on creating experiences. 3. Create a page from scratch. For more information about how to create a page, see [Create a page in UI Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/ui-builder/create-page.md). 4. Add a multi-table data resource. 1. In the data shelf, select **+ Add data resource**. \[Omitted image "multi-table-data-source1.png"\] Alt text: Data shelf with black arrow pointing to add data resource option. 2.
