To maintain the health of your asset inventory it's important to address scan issues that may arise. There are various ways to monitor your scan issues and create customized views that allow you to filter unnecessary information and select the data you want to examine further.

To view your scan issues, you can:

To see a list of your assets with scan issues:

  2. Select:
    • All scan issues for a list of all the assets affected by a scan issue.
    • Scan issue type for the option to view a list of the assets grouped by the type of scan issue affecting them.
  3. Select an asset for more information about the scan issue. You're redirected to the asset's information page.

Create a custom view

Control how the list of assets with scan issues is displayed by creating custom views to suit your unique environment. Custom views allow you to create a personalized view of your data by displaying the information you require in the format your desire.

To create a custom view:

  1. Go to Scanning > Scan issues > All scan issues.
  2. Select Customize view.customize-view.png

     

  3. Add columns to the table by editing the following fields:
    • Fixed columns: Pins a column to the most right of the table so it is easy to view, select icon.png. Only one column can be pinned at a time.
    • Scrollable columns: Adds a column to the table. Select and hold the column to reorder it.
    • Available columns: Displays the columns available to add to a table. Select plus.png to add it to the scrollable columns and table.
  4. Select Apply.

  6. Enter a name for your view. You can also add a description.

Your view is added to Scanning > Scan issues > Custom views.

Sort by multiple columns

  1. Go to Risk insights > Scan issues > All scan issues.
  2. Select a second column you want to sort scan issues by. Scan issues are sorted by Date & Time by default.
  3. Optionally, select more columns to sort your list of scan issues by. You can sort scan issues by up to 4 different columns at the same time. 
    Your list of scan issues will be sorted by the selected columns, prioritizing those selected first.
  4. Select Unsaved View > Save view and Configurations.
  5. Enter a name for your view. You can also add a description.
  6. Select Save.
    You can remove a sorted column by selecting X.
