360° View

Description

A 360-degree view is an information tree built around a primary network object (e.g., user, endpoint, network device or site/branch). Each level in the tree includes real-time, recent and historical status. The 360-degree view can be used for a wide variety of reporting, troubleshooting, compliance, security and policy-based applications.

Usage Guidelines

Use the 360° View as an intermediate step to help the user decide the next actionable steps to resolve an issue. It’s not meant to be a detailed view or a form to enter data.
