Opening a decision from Impact

What this view is

Every row you see on the Decisions tab and the Dollars tab of Impact is a summary line: a status, a title, maybe a dollar figure, how long ago it happened. Click any of those rows and the card does not navigate away or open a new page. It flips in place, in a single smooth motion, to show that one decision full-size: its status, its exact timestamp, its dollar detail if it has one, and a handoff button into the full decision workspace if you want to go deeper. Click the back link, swipe, or press Escape, and it flips right back to the list you were looking at, exactly where you left it.

This in-card flip is the same mechanic every section of the platform uses to move from a list of rows to one row's own detail (jobs, vendors, clients, equipment) without leaving the page. On Impact it appears twice, once on the Decisions tab and once on the Dollars tab, both showing the same decision detail face because both tabs are reading the same underlying set of decisions, just filtered differently.

Verinode does not make the call on any of these. It surfaces the signal, records what you did with it (acted, parked, or ignored), and shows you the dollar outcome if one exists. The drill view is a closer read of that record, not a recommendation.

Where to find it

Open Impact from the sidebar at iq.verinode.ai/impact. The drill view opens from two of the five tabs across the Impact card slider (Goals, Decisions, Dollars, Engagement, Activity):

• On the Decisions tab, click any row in the list, regardless of which status chip (All, Acted, Parked, Ignored) is active.
• On the Dollars tab, click any row under either the Hard Recoverable or the Soft Conditional section.

Both land on the identical drilled face. The row you clicked determines what shows; the tab you clicked it from only determines what you get back to when you close it.

What the drilled card shows

Back link

At the top, a small text link reads "← Back to decisions." Click it to flip the card back to the list. This text is fixed regardless of which tab you opened the drill from, so it reads "Back to decisions" even when you arrived from the Dollars tab. That is expected: both tabs share the same drill view, and it is describing what it returns you to (the decisions list), not the tab label.

Status pill

Directly under the back link, a small rounded pill spells out the decision's current lifecycle state in uppercase: ACTED, PARKED, or IGNORED. It carries the same color coding used everywhere else on Impact: green for acted, amber for parked, red for ignored. This is the one piece of the drilled card that is always present, no matter what else the decision does or does not carry.

Title and timestamp

Below the pill, the decision's title prints as a large heading, the same title you saw on its row in the list. Underneath that, one line shows two readings of the same moment, separated by a dot: the absolute date and time the status changed (for example "Jul 9, 2026, 3:41 PM") and how long ago that was in relative terms (for example "3d ago"). The absolute reading is there so you know exactly when something happened; the relative reading is there so you don't have to do the math yourself.

The dollar block

If, and only if, the decision carries a dollar amount, a block appears below the timestamp with:

• A small uppercase label naming the register: Hard Recoverable or Soft Conditional.
• A large bold dollar figure, colored Expand green for Hard Recoverable or Maintain yellow for Soft Conditional. That is the exact same figure you saw beside the row in the list, just larger.
• A one-line explanation underneath: "Realized $ from acted decisions." for Hard Recoverable, or "In play, not yet realized." for Soft Conditional.

If the decision has no dollar amount attached, this entire block is omitted. Nothing is left in its place, no dash, no zero. That happens for decisions that are process or compliance findings rather than dollar recoveries, for example a missing certificate or a workflow gap. A decision showing only the status pill, title, and timestamp with no dollar block is not missing anything: it never carried a dollar figure to begin with. For the full rule on how Hard Recoverable and Soft Conditional are kept separate and never summed, see Hard Recoverable vs Soft Conditional dollars.

Open full decision

At the bottom, a solid copper button reads "Open full decision →." It only appears, in effect, once you have looked at everything the card can tell you in place; clicking it is the deliberate step of leaving the card behind for the full decision workspace at /decisions/[id], where the complete history, evidence, and any structured plan tied to that decision live. Treat the drilled card as the fast read and the full decision page as where you go to actually work the decision, forward a document, or write a note. See The decision workspace for what is on the other side of that link.

Moving between decisions without closing the card

Once you are inside a drilled decision, you are not limited to the one row you clicked. Floating prev and next arrows sit at the edges of the card, a row of dots along the bottom marks your position, and you can move the same way with the left and right arrow keys or by swiping. Any of these steps you to the next or previous decision in the underlying list, flipping straight from one decision's detail to the next without ever seeing the list in between.

What "the underlying list" means depends on which tab you drilled in from, and it is worth knowing precisely because it is not always the list you were visually looking at:

• From the Decisions tab, prev/next walks every decision in the current time window, in the same newest-first order as the list, regardless of which status chip (All, Acted, Parked, Ignored) was selected when you clicked. If you filtered to Parked and clicked one row, next can still land you on an acted or ignored decision, because the chip only filters what you see in the list, not the order the drill view steps through.
• From the Dollars tab, prev/next walks every acted decision in the window that carries a dollar amount, hard and soft mixed together in one sequence, not scoped to just the section (Hard Recoverable or Soft Conditional) you clicked into. Stepping "next" from a Hard Recoverable row can land you on a Soft Conditional one.

While a decision is drilled in, the AI agent panel also updates to know which decision you are looking at, so a question you ask IQ in chat while the card is open is read against that specific decision rather than the page in general.

How to use it

1. 1Open Impact from the sidebar and pick your window (This month, Last 30 days, Year to date, or All time) from the picker in the header.
2. 2Open the Decisions tab to scan everything IQ surfaced, or the Dollars tab to scan only what has a dollar figure attached.
3. 3Click a row to flip into its detail: read the status, the exact timestamp, and the dollar block if there is one.
4. 4Use the arrows, dots, or arrow keys to step to the next decision if you want to keep reviewing without closing the card.
5. 5Click Open full decision when you want to act further: read the full history, forward a document, or work a structured plan on that decision's own page.
6. 6Click Back to decisions, swipe, or press Escape when you are done, and you land back on the list exactly where you started.

Empty states

The drill view itself has no empty-state copy of its own, because it only ever renders in response to a click on a real row. The empty states live one level up, on the tab you would otherwise click into:

• On Decisions, with nothing surfaced in the window, the tab reads: "No decisions in this window yet. As IQ surfaces signals you act, park, or ignore, they show up here." If decisions exist but none match the selected status chip, it reads: "Nothing with that status in this window."
• On Dollars, each section (Hard Recoverable, Soft Conditional) that has nothing acted on with a dollar amount in the window reads: "Nothing in this bucket yet."

In every one of those cases there is no row to click, so there is nothing to drill into. The closest thing the drilled card itself has to an empty state is the missing dollar block described above, for a decision that has a status and a timestamp but never carried a dollar figure.

Best-practice example

Say you open the Dollars tab this month and see three rows under Hard Recoverable and two under Soft Conditional. You click the top Hard Recoverable row. The card flips: an ACTED pill, the decision's title, "Jul 8, 2026, 11:02 AM · 4d ago," and a green Hard Recoverable block reading the dollar figure with "Realized $ from acted decisions." You press the right arrow to check the next one, and it turns out to be one of the Soft Conditional rows, colored yellow instead of green, because prev/next is walking every dollar-bearing acted decision in order, not just the Hard Recoverable section you started in. Satisfied the figures look right, you click Open full decision on the one that needs a follow-up, and land on its full workspace page to check the evidence behind it.
