In addition, you can also extend certain perspectives with plugins from the Pentaho Marketplace.

• Home

  The Home perspective serves as the portal for you to access Pentaho tools and features. Home contains easy access buttons so that you can browse your existing files, create new reports, dashboards, data sources, view Pentaho documentation, and quickly open recently viewed or favorite files.

• Opened

  The Opened perspective uses plugins to provide access to different analytic capabilities. This perspective activates after you open a file from Recents, Favorites, or Browse Files. It provides report and dashboard examples and a straightforward environment in which to work with your files.

• Browse Files

  The Browse Files perspective helps you keep your files and folders organized to make them easier to find and use. In the Browse Files perspective, the available folders, files, and actions depend on your role and permissions.

• Schedules

  All your active scheduled reports appear in the list of schedules in the Schedules perspective.

• Administration

  If you are logged in to the User Console as a user with administration permissions, you can use the Administration perspective to manage security, specify system configurations, perform maintenance tasks, and install Pentaho software licenses.
