The Editor canvas is the main editing area. This is where you type code and see your enabled preferences, if any. The right-click menu options only work in this area, but the shortcut keys are always available. The code canvas is shown in the following image.

You can save a file in the Editor in one of the following ways:
The default file name is New FOCEXEC File *. Since the file has not been saved, an asterisk (*) appears to the right of the file name. When the file is saved, the asterisk is removed.
Content that uses In-Document Analytics provides users with an interactive interface that allows the generation of real-time, dynamic reports, charts, and dashboards. Its versatility allows you to package a data set with a combination of analytical views, resulting in highly intuitive and interactive self-service business intelligence. This gives you an edge in presentation and analysis, making it easy to develop and share concepts, ideas, and scenarios. An interactive report is a self-contained report, meaning that it contains all the data and JavaScript® within the HTML output file.
Sharing is a feature that is generally used to enable users to share private content residing in their My Content folders with authorized colleagues.
WebFOCUS makes shared resources available to other appropriate users through a special Shared Content folder. The Shared Content folder is a virtual folder that appears automatically in a folder whenever there is shared content inside that folder.
Each domain in the repository, except the Public domain, comes with the private My Content folder. Whenever you create content inside the My Content folder, this content remains private and only visible to you, unless you share it with other users and groups. You can share content in one of two ways:
You can launch the Editor in one of the following ways:
The main components of the Editor interface are shown in the following annotated image.
The Editor interface components are identified as follows:
Syntax highlighting improves readability and makes debugging procedures easier. This color-coded highlighting is applied to the source code for WebFOCUS procedures to distinguish keywords, comments, functions, arithmetic and logical operators, constants, and quoted strings.
Highlighting is supported for HTML, JavaScript, CSS, R, Python, and SQL files.
The following image is an example of highlighting in a WebFOCUS procedure (FOCEXEC) that is opened in the Editor.
The Editor enables you to create, view, and edit the source code for WebFOCUS procedures (FOCEXECs), Master, HTML, JavaScript, WebFOCUS StyleSheet, Cascading Style Sheet, Text, SQL, R, and Python files.
Additionally, the Editor supports user-friendly features, such as syntax highlighting, code folding, line numbering, autocomplete, and display of a status bar and indent guides. These features speed productivity by enabling better clarity in helping you understand, debug, and work with your source code.
The Editor toolbar presents commonly used functions, organized into a series of menu groups. The toolbar is shown in the following image.
