Main Explorer Tab

The Main Explorer tab allows you to log into environments and navigate through rules associated with companies, plans, plan rules, segments, transactions, plan data and funds.  

 

In the Main Explorer you will use a folder structure to navigate to the appropriate rules for configuration. Each type of rule has its own folder. Each company also has its own folder, which has a subfolder for company data and for each plan. The plan folder organizes the rules into six main categories, which are as follows:
