The default Alerts list shows open alerts, sorted by last updated. You can change the view with the various filter options. The summary numbers on top of the Alerts list reflect the alerts that match the current filter options.
In addition to a severity color and alert type, some alerts may have analyst or remediation updates, indicated by the envelope icon. The title text of alerts that have not yet been read is in bold on a white background (read alerts are not bold, on a grey background).
The Alert header and Alert description sections provide more alert details including a description and recommendations. You can also perform some alert activities from this section.
