Step 2,
To add new data source first we have to create new "workspace" in the GeoServer,
Click on the "Workspaces" and you can see existing workspaces.
Step 3,
Click on the "Add New Workspace"
Step 4,
Assign any name as you wish for the workspace name and assign relevant name after the http://geoserver.org/ in "Namespace".
Step 5,
Then we can enable WFS, WCF,WMS services, and we can add the name, contact, e-mails etc...
Step 6,
Press save button and you can see newly created workspace been added to the Workspaces
Step 7,
After creating workspace we have to create store to add data, then click on "Add new store",
Step 8,
In this practical we are adding an ESRI shapefile, hence select ESRI shapefile option in the view,
Step 9,
Select created workspace to add new data from the drop down list,
Step 10,
Type name of the data source (you can give any name as your wish) and always better to give related description about the data,
Step 11,

Select "Layer Preview" to view the added data in GeoServer.
Select OpenLayers option to view the data as an openlayer,
Click over the data layer to view the attributes.
Click on "Toggle option toolbar " to add toolbar to the viewer.
We can change the width and the height and many other options using toggle editor tool bar.
