Navigating the main Symantec DLP Menu structure:
The Symantec Data Loss Prevention Menu breaks down into 5 main menu clusters: 

1) Home: The default home page is an "Exec. Summary - Endpoint" dashboard, as the dashboard is a live pull of data from the database each login, this has been shown to impact login times.

Select the "House" in the top right hand corner: 

The home page will now default the Server Overview Page.
