you will see a screen similar to the one below. Reports are stored within “domains”. You will see a list of the domains you have access to by clicking the down arrow on the upper left side of the screen. Most users will only have access to one domain.
If you have access to more than one domain and the domain you want to access is not selected, select the domain from the list. Once the domain name is in the list box, select Submit to see the Domain Tree of reports available for that domain. Reports written by ETS Computing will appear under the Standard Reports menu item. However, other WebFOCUS users who have access to this domain may have written reports to be shared. These will be under the Shared Reports menu item.
