Insight cards

Each insight appears as a card showing:

  • The number of affected users or records
  • A title describing the detected issue, for example Orphaned Access
  • A short description explaining the context
  • One or more tags showing the insight category, for example Security, Optimization
  • A Review button that opens the relevant view, such as the Users tab, with matching filters already applied — for example, reviewing an Orphaned Access insight opens the Users tab filtered to the affected accounts

Select the three-dot menu on a card for further options.

Select the refresh icon at the top right to update all card values with the latest data.
