Objective Panel
The 'yellow' panel is where objectives are actually displayed. When you select an objective from the 'blue' panel, this panel updates to show you the objective.
Many objectives display portions of the objective results in 'tabs' at the top of the page. These can be individually clicked to scan through the results. The type and function of these components is objective dependent, but will often include:

- Tabular details, which displays a configurable proportion of the results.
- Various line graphs, bar graphs, port-maps, geolocation maps, or pie graphs.
