The dashboard indicates whether the network or IWSVA is performing normally, the amount
of traffic or Internet usage is consistent and within the norm, and if there is unusual
virus activity somewhere on the network. The IWSVA dashboard shows a summary of device
group transactions that have occurred in the last 24 hours as well as one, two, 12,
24, and week-long increments.

Note
Dashboard uses the time zone of the browser, not the time zone of IWSVA's location.

Note
Role-based access rights are not breached by the Search feature.

average value is calculated using the last seven days' values from the same time.
