Click a section tile to display a taskbar on the right with actions. Each section tile can have one of several colors, which are based on the highest severity status of included items:

Color	Icon meaning	Description
Green	OK	All items in the section are without any issues.
Yellow	Warning	At least one item in the section is marked with a warning.
Red	Error	At least one item in the section is marked with an error.
Gray	Content unavailable	Content is unavailable due to insufficient access rights of the ESET PROTECT Console user. An administrator needs to set additional permissions for the user or you need to log in as another user with proper access rights.
Blue	Information	There is a question related to connected computer(s) (see Questions section description below).

Status Overview contains the following sections:

Users
