Understanding the home page

The home page appears in the browser when you open BIRT Analytics. A “Recent analysis” panel on the right-hand side of the page lists recent analyses that have been accessed. A “garbage bin” icon at the bottom lets you clear the list.

This page provides access through icons to all of the features of the product:
