When you first log in to your Prospero session, you will be presented with the Home ribbon. This ribbon contains the fundamental features available to initiate and support your Prospero reporting activities.
The features available on this ribbon include:
• New – Creates a new Line, Column or Report Definition.
• Open – Opens an existing Line, Column or Report Definition.
• Catalog View - Opens a Catalog View selection window which allows you to select an existing Line, Column or Report Definition. You can change the view by clicking on the Report, Line or Column radio button.
The Report Catalog View will return all existing reports and their information including Name, Label, Line and Column Definitions used by the report, creation date and who created the report, modified date and who last modified the report, as well as when the report was last used.
The Line or Column Catalog Views will return all existing elements and their information including Name, Label, creation date and who created the element, modified date and who last modified the item, as well as when the item was last used.
Within each Catalog View selection you can search or sort by entering a value for the item (letter, number or keyword) in the field where the magnifying glass appears in the information columns.
Lastly, within the Catalog View selection window, you can choose to open multiple items using the Shift or Ctrl keys and mouse-click OR the Shift key and down-arrow to select desired items. Each selected item will then open in the workspace. (To de-select any chosen items select the entire row, being certain that all fields in the row are not selected.)

• Copy – Copies a selection or item from the Clipboard.
• Paste – Pastes a copied or cut Clipboard item to the workspace.
