Getting to Know the Axonius Interface

The first time you log onto Axonius the system opens on the Dashboard page. The Axonius Platform side menu is visible from every page and provides your main navigation tool between the modules.

When you first open the application, the menu is closed.

Click the top icon  to expand the menu.

The side menu contains icons to open all of the system modules and pages. Mouse over an icon to see the name of the module it opens. If you are working with a smaller screen, mouse over to see a scroll bar and scroll through the icons. Right click any icon to open a browser context menu with the option to open the page in a new tab or a new window. You can open the following system elements from the side menu.

	Dashboard	The Dashboard provides a single, consolidated, and central area to monitor and absorb insights on all assets based on saved queries designed to shed light on desired policy, breach of policy, and any other questions regarding asset management. The Dashboard page opens by default every time you log in to Axonius.
	Assets	Use the Assets page to manage all assets discovered in your environment from one place.
	Asset Graph	Use the Asset Graph page to view a visual representation of the connections between the assets in your inventory.
	Queries	Use the Queries page to manage the queries on your system. You can see a centralized summary of information about all saved queries in the system.
	Findings	Use the Findings Center to view all alerts created in Axonius, all Finding rules defined in Axonius, and to create new Finding rules. When the first new alert appears in the Findings Center since it was last visited, a blue notification dot appears on the Findings Center icon. It is removed once you open the Findings Center.
	Enforcement Center	Use the Enforcement Center to create configurable Enforcement Sets that execute a saved query and then automatically perform an action on the entities that result from the query (policy gaps) to bridge, mitigate, notify, or create incidents on the identified gaps.
	Reports	Use Axonius Reports to generate a predefined executive report in PDF format, as CSV files, or as both.
	Data Analytics	Use Data Analytics to load query data into a configurable pivot table within Axonius.
	Cloud Asset Compliance Center	The Cloud Asset Compliance add-on uses cloud configuration and asset data from cloud IAAS providers and compares those implementations against industry benchmarks and frameworks.
	Adapters	The Adapters page displays the list of solutions that Axonius integrates with, called adapters.
	Activity Logs	The Activity Logs page tracks all activity in the Axonius system.
	Manage Nodes	The Manage Nodes page displays all the Nodes in your system, and is used to manage the Node(s).
