.Search lists are custom lists of vulnerabilities that you can apply to an option profile, scan report template or remediation policy rule. All vulnerabilities in the KnowledgeBase are available for inclusion in a search list. You can create a search list with a specific list of vulnerabilities (static) or a set of vulnerability search criteria for dynamically creating a list of vulnerabilities (dynamic). See About Search Lists. The Library provides a variety of both static and dynamic search lists that you can import and use as-is or edit as needed. See About the Library.
1. Select Search Lists from the left menu, under Tools.
2. Go to New > Static List.
3. Specify settings in the following sections.
• General Information. Provide a title for the search list. Managers and Unit Managers can also specify whether the search list should be globally available. Initially, the user who creates the search list is the owner. Managers and Unit Managers can edit the search list after it is saved to change the owner.
• QIDs. Select the QIDs to be included in the search list.
• Comments. Enter notes about the search list.
4. Click Save to save the static search list.
1. Select Search Lists from the left menu, under Tools.
2. Go to New > Dynamic List.
3. Specify settings in the following sections.
• General Information. Provide a title for the search list. Managers and Unit Managers can also specify whether the search list should be globally available. Initially, the user who creates the search list is the owner. Managers and Unit Managers can edit the search list after it is saved to change the owner.
• List Criteria. Select the vulnerability search criteria to be included in the search list.
• Comments. Enter notes about the search list.
4. Click Test to see the list of QIDs that match your specified criteria. After reviewing the resulting QIDs, you can make changes to the criteria and then test the results again.
5. Click Save to save the dynamic search list. Optionally, click Save As Static to save a static search list with the QIDs that match the criteria that you've specified. The service queries the KnowledgeBase to find all QIDs that currently match the search criteria and then creates a static search list with those QIDs.
1. Select Search Lists from the left menu, under Tools.
2. Identify
the search list you want to edit, and click .
3. Make changes to the vulnerability search list settings. For static search lists, you can add and remove QIDs. For dynamic search lists, you can edit the search criteria used to dynamically create the search list. Managers and Unit Managers can edit the owner and global setting.
4. Click Save. Optionally, click Save As to save a copy of the search list with a new name. In this case, the original search list is not changed.
