Advanced Analytics Overview

Advanced Analytics lets you to create specific queries based on a variety of search criteria within IdentityIQ. These searches can be used to identify specific areas of risk, and to create populations of identities that can be saved and used as filtering criteria in other features.

Search results can be saved for reuse, or saved as reports or populations. When you save a search as a report, you can schedule the search to run on an continuous basis, for monitoring and tracking purposes.

When you save the search criteria as a population, you can use activity monitoring and statistical reporting of identities that fit that criteria in the same way that you use them for groups.

To access Advanced Analytics from the navigation menu bar, select Intelligence > Advanced Analytics. Then choose a Search Type from the dropdown menu and enter the search criteria.
