Imagine you are a detective trying to solve a mystery. You have a board where you pin photos, notes, and clues about the case. Each piece of information helps you understand the story better and make connections between different events. Now, picture that board being digital and interactive, showing you a timeline of events that you can easily follow. This is similar to what the Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal offers with its timeline view of user activity.

In the world of data security and compliance, it's crucial to keep track of interactions that might pose risks. Think of it like monitoring a group of people at a party to ensure everyone is following the rules. The timeline view acts like a CCTV camera that records these interactions, not just between people but also with AI applications. It flags anything that seems out of the ordinary or potentially risky, just like a security guard might point out someone acting suspiciously.

This feature allows reviewers, who are like the detectives in our analogy, to see a complete history of a user's interactions. It's like having access to the full CCTV footage instead of just a few snapshots. With this comprehensive view, reviewers can make more informed decisions about whether any rules have been broken. It helps them connect the dots, understand the context, and decide if any action needs to be taken.

By providing this timeline view, the review process becomes more efficient and effective. It's like giving the detective all the tools they need to solve the case quickly and accurately. This means that potential issues can be addressed sooner, reducing the risk of data security or compliance incidents. Overall, this feature is a powerful tool for maintaining a secure and compliant environment.
