    • The Home page in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace provides a summary of active records by showcasing visualizations of risk rating, remediation progress, assignments to assignment groups, records in remediation tasks, and vulnerabilities from cloud resources.

    On the Home page, you can view the visualizations for the prefiltered host vulnerable items, container vulnerable items, application vulnerable items, and configuration test results. You can also view visualizations for a set of desired records by creating and applying filters. For more information on how to create, update, apply and delete filters, see Create and apply filters the summary of active records (VITs, AVITs, CVITs and CTRs).

    Tip:

    If the sn_vul_cmn_ws.navigate_to_workspace system property is set to true by the admin, upon selecting the predefined filter links in the Vulnerable Items, Application Vulnerable Items, Container Vulnerable Items and Test Results modules from the All menu, these links open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace's Home page with auto-selection of the corresponding saved filter.

    For example, if you select High Risk by navigating to All > Vulnerability Response > Vulnerable items, this link is redirected to the Home page of the Vulnerability Manager Workspace with auto-selection of the High Risk filter in the Host Vulnerabilities tab.

    On the Home page, you can perform the following:
    • Drill down into the data and view the list of records by clicking on the visualizations.
    • Navigate to the list of active records in the classic UI by selecting the View classic list link.
    • Open the list of active records in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace by selecting the active records count next to the View by drop-down.
    • Update the visualizations by selecting the Refresh Selected Saved Filter icon.
    • View the latest information by selecting the Refresh option in the three dots menu on a widget.
