# 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:

Plan Folders in Main Explorer | Business Rules: Any rules that are attached to the plan, interface, screen, system, user defined, calculate and CopyBooks. Plan Rules: Any rules that are overridden at the plan level and are required for a plan to run in the application. Segments: All the segments attached to the plan. Transactions: All the transactions attached to the plan. Plan Data: Constant values for a plan that can be used for configuration calculations. Funds: Only for plans that use funds. This will store fund information
