History Tab

The View Identity > History tab provides a history of user data. Tracking identity scores over time enables you to identity patterns or trends in the activity of a selected user.

The History tab contains two sections: Identity Snapshots and Identity Certification History.

Identity Snapshots

Snapshots are generated when a certification is run, and when the Maintain identity histories option is used in the identity refresh task.

The frequency with which snapshots are generated is set in gear > Global Settings > IdentityIQ Configuration on the Identities tab. See IdentityIQ Global Settings.
