    In the example above, Amanda Cox was specified previously as a Data Owner for Security, Epoch, and Workload policies, and each policy has been run at least once (resulting in a stored scan). If a user has not yet been specified for as a Data Owner in a policy, or has, but the policies have not yet been run, the right pane will be empty.

    The numbers associated with each listed policy specify the number of policies of that type of which the logged in user is a Data Owner. For example, Amanda Cox is the Data Owner of one Security Notification policy. Clicking a number brings up details about the policies.

    In the example above, Amanda Cox can view the Security policies for which she is a Data Owner.

    The numbers associated with jobs specify the number of jobs that have been run. Clicking the number brings up details of all of the jobs.

    In the example above, each of the saved jobs are listed. You can get additional details about a job by double-clicking a listing from the job list.
