Overview

File Inventory is the default page when viewing Insights. It provides insights into the files and file formats identified by Discover. You can choose to view each chart based on file size or file count. All charts are interactive, so if you click on a section in any chart, you will be taken to the Results page, and the results will be filtered based on the selected information.

Statistics

The first sections shows the statistics for the files discovered. It identifies the total number of scans that have run and the number of locations (data sources) being scanned. Next, it identifies the total size of the scanned content. Finally, it shows the total number of files identified. The statistics always display the information for all locations; the statistics are not affected by the location selections.

Scans

By default, the charts display information for all locations. If you want the charts to show information for specific locations, select Files across selected scans and select the locations you want to use to filter the information. Refer to Selecting Scans for information on how to use select scans. To view information for all locations again, select Files across all scans. The statistics at the top of the page always display the information for all locations and are not affected by the location selections made here.

Modified Date

This chart groups the content by modified date. The ranges are <1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-5 years, and 5+ years. Where applicable, DryvIQ will use the content modified date when supported by a given platform. Based on the filter, it will identify the total number of files or the total size of the content for each date range identified. You can hover on a section of the graph to view the details for that date. Selecting a section of the chart takes you to the Results page, and the page will be filtered based on the date you selected.
