Explorer's metadata-driven menu makes it easier for users to navigate to pages, trends, and workbooks. This is a user-driven classification system, designed to reduce the administrative burden of continually adding new displays to a corporate menu.
The structure of the menu is created in Server Management, and that structure is then used by users to build there own customised menus.
