About this task

The base system ships with one remediation task rule, Assignment group, Test, which groups test results by assignment group (pre-populated from Assignment Rules) and the test result Test field. This rule can be modified using filter conditions and group keys. Group keys are columns in the test results table. Select up to six keys to indicate what values should be used to group the test results.

Starting with version 14.7 of Configuration Compliance, the Assignment group, Test remediation task rule is deactivated for new implementations.

Note:

New or updated rules are automatically evaluated on the next import or manually using the Reapply button on the Group Rule form.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Configuration Compliance > Administration > Remediation Task Rules.
2. Open the Assignment group, Test rule or click New.

   

3. If New, fill in the fields on the form, as appropriate.
