## Working with the canvas

The canvas is designed for quick access to information and options that are available across the [service setup tabs](/product-documentation/patchworks-services/working-with-services/the-anatomy-of-a-service.md), summarised below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="130.33333333333331">Ref #</th><th>Option</th><th>Summary</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td><a href="/pages/2FFdZGA1f6k3msgNQf9D">Source connector</a></td><td>The name of the system defined as the source for this service - i.e. the system from which data is pulled.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td><a href="/pages/3FIsilYrwWN3B1eNpxyb">Destination connector</a></td><td>The name of the system defined as the destination for this service - i.e. the system to which data is pushed.</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td><a href="/pages/2FFdZGA1f6k3msgNQf9D">Source connector settings</a></td><td>View/update settings for the source connector.</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td><a href="/pages/3FIsilYrwWN3B1eNpxyb">Destination connector settings</a></td><td>View/update settings for the destination connector.</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td><a href="/pages/vCUT5QDBakoS57tAtfgT">Service filters</a></td><td>View/update service filters to determine what data is pulled from the source system.</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td><a href="/pages/ewWBnG5CPRhwUkBXaQSr">Service field mappings</a></td><td>View/update field mappings and transformations which determine where and how fields pulled from the source system are placed in the destination system.</td></tr></tbody></table>
