## Review affected assets
Clicking on a device or a user card in the affected assets sections will switch to the details of the device or user in the details pane.
Selecting a device or a user card in the affected assets sections will switch to the details of the device or user in the details pane.
- **For devices** the details pane will display information about the device itself, like Domain, Operating System, and IP. Active alerts and the logged on users on that device are also available. You can take immediate action by isolating the device, restricting app execution, or running an antivirus scan. Alternatively, you could collect an investigation package, initiate an automated investigation, or go to the device page to investigate from the device's point of view.
- **For users** the details pane will display detailed user information, such as the user's SAM name and SID, as well as logon types performed by this user and any alerts and incidents related to it. You can click *Open user page* to continue the investigation from that user's point of view.

## Investigate using the alert story
The alert story details why the alert was triggered, related events that happened before and after, as well as other related entities.
Entities are clickable and every entity that isn't an alert is expandable using the expand icon on the right side of that entity's card. The entity in focus will be indicated by a blue stripe to the left side of that entity's card, with the alert in the title being in focus at first.
Expand entities to view details at-a-glance about them. Clicking on an entity will switch the context of the details pane to this entity, and will allow you to review further information, as well as manage that entity. Clicking on *...* to the right of the entity card will reveal all actions available for that entity. These same actions appear in the details pane when that entity is in focus.
> [!NOTE]
> The alert story section may contain more than one alert, with additional alerts related to the same execution tree appearing before or after the alert you've selected.

## Take action from the details pane
Once you've selected an entity of interest, the details pane will change to display information about the selected entity type, historic information, when its available, and offer controls to **take action** on this entity directly from the alert page.
Once you're done investigating, go back to the alert you started with, mark the alert's status as **Resolved** and classify it as either **False alert** or **True alert**. Classifying alerts helps tune this capability to provide more true alerts and less false alerts.
If you classify it as a true alert, you can also select a determination, as shown in the image below.

If you are experiencing a false alert with a line-of-business application, create a suppression rule to avoid this type of alert in the future.
