| Cards | Description | Source table |
|-|-|-|
| Connection Status | Shows whether the device is currently connected to a ServiceNow instance. Note: If a user remains inactive for 6 hours, their connection status is considered as "down", even if they're still logged in but not active. This information helps you troubleshoot connectivity issues and ensure that the device is able to access the resources it needs. | DEX Desktop Assistant \[sn_dex_desktop_exp\] |
| Logged in | Indicates whether a user is currently logged in to the device or not. The login status of a user is updated when they either log in or log out. This information helps you determine whether the device is currently in use or not and track user activity over time. | DEX Desktop Assistant \[sn_dex_desktop_exp\] |
| Desktop Assistant Version in use | Displays the current version of Desktop Assistant running on user devices. This information can help you ensure that the application is up to date and identify any potential compatibility issues with the OS or other applications. | DEX Desktop Assistant \[sn_dex_desktop_exp\] |
