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. You can clear this list using the “garbage bin” icon at the bottom.
A “My folders” panel to the left of the Recent analysis panel gives you access to your own saved analyses. Choosing the “Folder” tab, displays your folders in the “Data Tree” panel. (Go to the section Understanding Data Tree for more information on the Data Tree.) Both the “Recent analysis“and the “My folders” panels are shown in Figure 1‑1.
