# Validio Overview Dashboard

> The Overview dashboard tracks data quality, incident resolution, and recent activity across your monitored sources, with page-level filters and a time range control.

The Overview dashboard is the landing page in Validio, providing a high-level summary of data quality, incident resolution, and recent activity across all your monitored sources. Use it to scan the current state of your data, filter down to what matters, and drill into the resources that need attention. For more information about the concepts used in this dashboard, see [Key Concepts](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/introduction/key-concepts.md).

Validio Overview Dashboard

The page combines two trend graphs — **Data quality over time** and **Time to resolution** — with a running **Activity** panel and a set of summary statistics. Page-level filters and a time range control let you focus every widget on a specific slice of your data. You can hover the graphs for details and click through the Activity panel via [resource links](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/using-validio/navigating-with-resource-links.md) to investigate further.

## Filtering the dashboard

Filters appear at the top of the page and let you scope what the dashboard shows.

* **Namespace** — limit the dashboard to one or more [namespaces](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/access-and-settings/about-validio-rbac.md).
* **Tags** — limit the graphs to resources with the selected [tags](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/access-and-settings/settings/managing-tags.md).
* **Owners** — limit the graphs to incidents assigned to the selected owners.

Not every filter affects every widget. **Namespace** and the **time range** scope the entire page; **Tags** and **Owners** scope only the two graphs, not the Activity panel.

| Filter | Data quality & Time to resolution graphs | Activity panel |
| :- | :- | :- |
| Namespace | Yes | Yes |
| Time range | Yes | Yes |
| Tags | Yes | No |
| Owners | Yes | No |

### Time range

The time range control sets the period the dashboard reports on. It defaults to the **last 7 days** and supports lookback of up to **365 days**. A longer time range shows only the metrics that are still retained, and retention depends on window size and segment usage. See [Segment Usage and Metric Retention](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/segmentation/metric-retention.md).

You can set the range in several ways:

* Pick a **relative** range (such as the last hour, day, 7 days, or 30 days) or enter a **custom** duration like `2h`, `3d`, or `1w`.
* Pick an **absolute** start and end date.
* Shift the window **backward or forward**, or **jump to now**, using the controls next to the range.

The selected range is saved in the page URL, so you can bookmark it or share it as a [deep link](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/using-validio/deep-link-navigation.md).

## Summary statistics

The dashboard shows summary counts of the **credentials**, **sources**, and **validators** in above the Activity panel, so you can see the size of your setup at a glance. These counts reflect the selected **Namespace** filter.

## Data quality over time

The **Data quality over time** graph shows your data quality score as a line over the selected time range, above a histogram of the incidents detected in each period.

* The **line** plots the [data quality score](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/introduction/key-concepts.md#data-quality-score) as a percentage on a fixed 0–100% scale. The score excludes resolved and false-positive incidents, so it reflects only active data quality issues. When there are no active issues, the score shows 100%.
* The **bars** break down each period by incident severity — **High**, **Medium**, and **Low** — plus a **Non-incidents** segment for the data points that did not raise an incident.
* The **legend** above the graph shows the cumulative count for each category across the whole range.
* **Hovering** a bar shows a tooltip with that period's date range, the data quality score, and the count for each severity.

## Time to resolution

The **Time to resolution** graph shows how quickly your team resolves incidents, above a histogram of incident statuses over time.

* The **line** plots the mean time to resolution for each period. It is calculated once you set at least one incident to **Resolved** or **False positive**; until then, the line is shown dashed to indicate there is nothing to measure yet.
* The **bars** break down each period by incident status — **Resolved**, **False positive**, **Investigating**, and **Triage**. See [Incidents](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/incidents-and-errors/incidents/incidents-page.md) for what each status means.
* The **legend** shows the cumulative count for each status, and **hovering** a bar shows that period's date range, the time to resolution, and the count for each status.

## Activity panel

The **Activity** panel displays a running feed of recent activity — such as creating, updating, and deleting resources, and changing incident status — grouped by day (Today, Yesterday, and so on). Each entry shows who performed the action and provides [resource links](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/using-validio/navigating-with-resource-links.md) so you can jump straight to the resource it describes.

The panel is scoped by the **Namespace** filter and the **time range**, but not by Tags or Owner. Select **Load more** to extend the window and load older activity, up to 365 days. You can also export the activity log to CSV from this panel.

The activity log respects [role-based access control](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/access-and-settings/about-validio-rbac.md) — you only see events for resources you have access to, and the same scoping applies to CSV exports.

For the full activity log feature, including scoped views on source and validator pages, what gets recorded, access control, and CSV export details, see [Activity Logs](https://docs.validio.io/v10.0/docs/using-validio/activity-logs.md).

## Empty and zero states

On a new instance, or when a filter matches nothing, the dashboard still renders but reflects the absence of data:

> [!NOTE]
>
> **What you see with no data**
>
> * The **summary statistics** show zero credentials, sources, or validators.
> * The **Data quality over time** line shows 100%, since there are no active incidents.
> * The **Time to resolution** line is dashed until the first incident is resolved.
> * The **Activity** panel shows an empty state until there is activity in the selected range.
