Topics: Node Shortcut Menu Options

The Resources tree, located on the left side of the page, contains your WebFOCUS Resources, such as Domains 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:

• Domains. Lists the domains 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 Gray folders are unpublished.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 Favorites.
