About the Data Insight Workspace
Prev	Navigating the Workspace tab	Next

The Workspace tab of the Data Insight Management Console gives you in-depth analytics of the configured data sources and users who have activity on these data sources. When you log on to Data Insight, you are automatically directed to the Data Insight dashboard. The dashboard enables interactive navigation and it lets you drill down to the deepest level of the file system hierarchy to view analytics for configured data sources and users. The information on the dashboard is summarized in tile-like panels. You can view details of the displayed data by navigating to the List View of the tile.

Note:

Data Insight recommends that you use a resolution of 1600 * 1024 to be able to view all columns on the Dashboard properly.

The dashboard helps you do the following:

Visualize complex analytics about activity, risk, and storage.
Review access pattern of watch-listed users.
Review the alerts that are generated when configured policies are violated.
Analyze the dashboard data from different perspectives.

You can use the Security, Activity, or the Storage views to change the perspective of the data that is displayed on the dashboard. For example, the Security view displays information about the number of sensitive files in a storage repository, number of active users on these data sources, and the risk score of the most active users. Whereas, the Activity view provides the information about the number of access events, the number of active files, the most active users. By default, the dashboard opens the Security view.

Note:

By default, the Users, Watchlist, and Alerts list views display data only for the Security perspective.

The tiles on the dashboard display all configured data sources, shares, and users listed in order of their risk score. Scroll to view all configured entities on a tile or click More to review the details of a specific entity.

By default, the information displayed by the Workspace is refreshed once every day. However, you can compute the dashboard data on the Workspace any time by running the dashboard report manually from the Advanced Analytics settings. Click Actions > Refresh to reflect the most current data on the dashboard.

For information about the configuring advanced analytics, see the Data Insight Administrator's Guide.

The Data Insight Dashboard displays the following tiles:
