On the Overview page, you can examine crucial statistics related to the policies you’ve implemented, access relevant reports, and manage workloads based on the operating system platform. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of policy performance, detailed insights from associated reports, and efficient management of tasks across different operating systems.

Microsoft Intune’s Monitoring Page improvements

Microsoft Intune’s admin center home page has undergone a significant redesign, simplifying the Status section and spotlighting Intune-related capabilities. The improved navigation menu, now replete with intuitive icons, provides users with a more vibrant and context-rich experience as they navigate through the platform.
