Create reports and Advanced Filters

Overview

As a Security Champion or AppSec manager, you will export Reports with the security findings from the Applications and Projects within your Organizaion. You will want to add new columns and filters to the findings pages to create the Reports that best fit your needs.

Getting it done

On an Applications or Projects summary page, all pages listed in the left list except for the Summary page have the options to add or remove Columns and Filters to change how the data is viewed. The right side of each page's data table has two buttons: Filters and Columns.

Manage table Columns

1. Click the Columns button on the right side of the table. The list of available columns to add will appear on the right side of the table. The order in which they are listed is reflected in the table headers from left to right.

2. Check the box next to the desired column name to add a column to the table, or uncheck the box to remove it.

3. Click and drag a column name to where you want it, or click on the grid between the checkbox and column name in the column list and drag it to where you want it in the table.

Manage table Filters

1. Click the filter icon under each column name or the Filters button on the right side of the table. The list of available filters to add will appear on the right side of the findings table. Each filter corresponds to the column of the same name.

Note: You can apply a filter for a column that hasn’t been added to the findings table.
