What is Asset Fuzzy Search ?
At the top we have a search bar which uses fuzzy logic to filter the Assets list. This is very useful to quickly find what you are looking for even if you misspell the name of the Asset.
For example; if you have an Asset called Demo Asset and you type in this fuzzy search bar "deo" where you accidentally forgot the letter "m", it will still show up in the list.

Why do I get Login timed out errors ?
The login screen is the critical interface between the Internet users and authorized users. If you use the Kelvin built-in security platform, there is one important behavior incorporated into the login screen. You may encounter a timed out error on your first login attempt, but accepted on the second attempt.
This time out of an active login screen is a security feature designed to reduce the risk of a session fixation hijack attack which occurs during a login session.
To avoid having to type in your credentials twice, it is recommended that if you leave you browser on the login screen for long periods of time, do a refresh of the login page before typing in your credentials. The refresh activates a new login session and you will not see a timed out error.
