If the Display ribbon instead of toolbar and menu setting is turned off in the Options dialog, you will see a menu rather than a ribbon at the top of the Reports Explorer window. See the Menu Functions topic in that case.

A ribbon similar to that in Microsoft Office applications appears at the top of the Reports Explorer window.

The ribbon consists of tabs: Home, Data, Tools, and Help. Select a tab by clicking its name in the ribbon. The toolbar associated with that tab then appears. A toolbar is divided into sections, with buttons in those sections. Some buttons have a dropdown list of items associated with them; in that case, an arrow appears below or beside the button. Click the button to display the list of items. For example, in the image above, clicking New displays a list of the types of reports you can create.

This section of help provides information on the functions that appear in the ribbon.
