NetQ UI Card Reference
This reference describes the cards available in the NetQ graphical user interface (NetQ UI). You can open cards using one of two methods:
- Search for the card by name in the Global Search field in the application header
- Click . Select a card category or scroll down. Click the desired card. Click Open Cards.
Cards opened on the default NetQ Workbench are not saved. Create a new workbench and open cards there to save and view the cards at a later time.

Network Health Card
As with any network, one of the challenges is keeping track of all of the moving parts. With the NetQ GUI, you can view the overall health of your network at a glance and then delve deeper for periodic checks or as conditions arise that require attention. For a general understanding of how well your network is operating, the Network Health card workflow is the best place to start as it contains the highest view and performance roll-ups.
