# The Enrichment Tab

## Overview

The **Enrichment** tab of an Indicator’s **Details** screen displays cards for all built-in enrichment services available for that Indicator type. If a built-in enrichment has been enabled by a System Administrator, then the card will display data returned by the service. Enrichment data may be retrieved and updated automatically if the service has been configured for automatic data retrieval. You can also retrieve enrichment data manually on an enabled enrichment service’s card.

## Before You Start

### User Roles

- To view the **Enrichment** tab of an Indicator’s **Details** screen, your user account can have any [Organization role](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/organization-roles).
- To retrieve data manually from an enabled enrichment service, your user account can have any Organization role.

### Prerequisites

- To view data for a built-in enrichment service, enable the service and enter a valid API key for the service on the **Indicators** tab of the **System Settings** screen (must be a System Administrator to perform this action).

## Viewing Enrichment Data

Follow these steps to view the **Enrichment** tab of an Indicator’s **Details** screen:

1. [Navigate to the**Details** screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen#viewing-the-details-screen) for the Indicator.
2. Select the **Enrichment** tab.

If an enrichment service is available for a given Indicator type, the **Enrichment**tab of the **Details**screen will be available for Indicators of that type, regardless of whether a System Administrator enabled the enrichment service.

Figure 1 shows the **Enrichment**tab of the **Details**screen for the **193.161.193.99**Address Indicator, where **FarSight Passive DNS**,**VirusTotal**,**Shodan**, and **AbuseIPDB**cards are displayed because the [Farsight Security](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/farsight-security-passive-dns-enrichment)®, [VirusTotal](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/virustotal-enrichment)™, [Shodan](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/shodan-enrichment)®, and [AbuseIPDB](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/abuseipdb-enrichment) enrichment services are *available* for Address Indicators. In this example, all four enrichment services are *enabled* on the ThreatConnect instance and for Address Indicators, so each****card displays data retrieved from the respective enrichment service for the **193.161.193.99**Address Indicator.

NoteIf data cannot be retrieved from the enrichment service, an error message will be displayed on the enrichment service’s card. For example, if your API key for the enrichment service has exceeded the quota limit or no data are available for the Indicator, an error message stating so will be displayed on the enrichment service’s card.

To collapse or expand all cards on the **Enrichment**tab, click the **Collapse All**or **Expand All**button, respectively. By default, all cards are expanded.

## Retrieving Data Manually

When you click on an Indicator’s **Enrichment**tab for the first time, data will be retrieved from each enabled enrichment service automatically if your System Administrator has enabled automatic data retrieval for the service. Otherwise, a message stating that “Automatic Data Retrieval has been disabled by the System Administrator” will be displayed on the card, and you will need to click the **Retrieve Data** button to populate the card with data. Once data have been retrieved, they will be cached for a period of time configured by your System Administrator. Each time you revisit that Indicator’s **Enrichment**tab, the cached data will be displayed until this period of time has passed.

To retrieve the latest data from an enrichment service, click the **Retrieve Data** button on the enrichment service’s card.

NoteThe API key your System Administrator entered when configuring the enrichment service on the **System Settings**screen will be used each time data are retrieved for the Indicator.
