# Reviewing Detective Investigations reports
<a name="investigations-report"></a>

Investigations reports lets you review the generated **Reports** for investigations that you have run previously in Detective. 

To review investigations reports

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console. Then open the Detective console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/detective/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/detective/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Investigations**. 

Take note of the following attributes from an investigations report. 
+ **ID** – The generated identifier of the investigations report. You can choose this **ID** to read a summary of the investigation report, which has the details of the investigation.
+ **Status** – Each investigation is associated with a **Status** based on the completion status of the investigation. Status values can be **In progress**, **Succeeded**, or **Failed**.
+ **Severity** – Each investigation is assigned a **Severity**. Detective automatically assigns a severity to the finding. 

  A severity represents the disposition as analyzed by the investigation of a single resource at a given scope time. A severity reported by an investigation doesn't imply or otherwise indicate the criticality or importance that an affected resource might have for your organization.

  Investigation severity values can be **Critical**, **High**, **Medium**, **Low**, or **Informational** from most to least severe.

  Investigations that are assigned a Critical or High severity value should be prioritized for further inspection, as they are more likely to represent high-impact security issues identified by Detective. 
+ **Entity** – The **Entity** column contains details on the specific entities detected in the investigation. Some entities are AWS accounts, such as user and role. 
+ **Status** – The **Creation** date column contains details on the date and time the investigation report was first created.
