The Resources tree, located on the left side of the page, contains your WebFOCUS Resources, such as workspaces and Portals. The following image shows the Resources tree that appears when you are accessing the Legacy Home Page.

The resources differ for every user. For example, the public user sees only public content.

You may want to create reports using WebFOCUS InfoAssist, or run existing reports before building or accessing a portal.

In addition to a simple Filter dialog box, the Resources tree contains the following nodes:

• Workspaces. Lists the workspaces folders that you have created on the portal. Yellow folders are published folders. Gray folders are unpublished.
• Favorites. Lists the items that you have designated as Favorites. To designate an item as a Favorite, right-click the item, and on the shortcut menu that opens, select Add to Favorites.
• Reporting Servers. Lists the servers that you can access.
• Portals. Lists all the portals that you have created. Portals with a blue icon are published. Portals with a gray icon are unpublished.
• Change Management. Lists the Import and Export facilities.
  • Import. Enables an administrator to move a change package into an acceptance test.
  • Export. Enables a developer to move changes made to application files to the user acceptance test environment.
• Web. Lists your application folders.
