  • Patent number: 11880558
    Abstract: An information technology (IT) and security operations application is described that stores data reflecting customizations that users make to GUIs displaying information about various types of incidents, and further uses such data to generate “popular” interface profiles indicating popular GUI modifications. The analysis of the GUI customizations data is performed using data associated with multiple tenants of the IT and security operations application to develop profiles that may represent a general consensus on a collection and arrangement of interface elements that enable analysts to efficiently respond to certain types of incidents. Users of the IT and security operations application can then optionally apply these popular interface profiles to various GUIs during their use of the application.
