When the user selects the Explore menu, all the Project folders specific to the user will be displayed. The Explore page contains 4 types of Project folders:
- Common (Frequently Used) Reports: Reports stored here are some of the most frequently used corporate reports.
- Corporate Documents: These folders start from 01-07 and follow the folder naming convention found in the SMS/800 TFN Registry UI. These folders display all the pre-defined reports that a user is allowed to view. If a user would like to add a new report that can be viewed by all Resp Orgs, please contact the Help Desk and the report will be added to the appropriate 01-08 folder.
- Scheduled Reports: This folder contains the reports for which the data is captured as a snapshot on the first day of the week or month. There is also a version of RHDB_NAREP that will be captured on a monthly basis for users to create custom reports against if needed.
- The User’s Entity Folder (e.g., ZA): Each Entity is assigned a private folder based on their 2 letter Entity ID. In this folder, a Resp Org can store their custom reports. The Entity folders are viewable and accessible only by the users with Login IDs assigned to the Resp Org. The Help Desk will also have access to user’s Entity folders for troubleshooting issues or to assist with creating custom reports.
From the Reporting Home page or any page, the user can select the “Explore” icon on the left pane. All the Project folders will be displayed (see Figure 8 Explore page).

- Type: Icon of the type listed on the page such as Folders, Workbooks, Views and Data Sources.
