The Open Report Section is primarily used to select a report as the currently displayed report. The reports are shown in a tree view in four different hierarchies:
Unpublished Reports: Reports that are created but are not yet published and are not included in any of the Menus
Reports by Menu: Reports are grouped by their Menu Group, this view only shows reports that appear in the Menus
Reports by Template: Reports are grouped by their Template, this view will contain all published reports
Last modified: Reports which were modifiied last
For a user that has only the Report Builder role or belongs to a User Group which has only this role, the Unpublished Reports tab only includes reports authored by that user that are not included in any of the Menus.
Besides selecting a new current report, the Open Report Panel provides other functionality:

Unpublished reports View: 'Copy', 'Place in Menu' and 'Delete'
Reports by Menu View: 'Copy', 'Place in Menu' and 'Remove from Menu'
Reports by template View: 'Create new report', 'Copy', 'Place in Menu'
