Creating a Priority

Step 1: From the Priorities module home page, click Create Priority.

Step 2: Set the scope of the priority, and select what should be prioritized, Assets or Findings. Click Add details.

If client-specific priorities are enabled, select a client by scrolling through the list or using the search box to filter.

Step 3: Enter a priority name and additional information into the fields on the page.

• Priority name (required): The title of the priority.

• Automatically add new recurring instances to this priority (optional): Check this box if for every instance of an Asset or Finding, it will be brought into the priority automatically. This is recommended for a project whose scope might change.

• Ignore information instances (optional): Check this box if the priority excludes instances that do not contain a vulnerability.

• Assignee(s) (optional): Click the input field to select the assignee(s) for the priority.

• Remediation owners (optional): A list of owner(s) who will own the priority remediation.

• Target remediation date (optional): Identifies the ideal date on which findings for the priority will be resolved. Place the cursor in the field box to select a date from the calendar.

• Description (optional): An RTF field to enter a description of the priority.

• Recommendation (optional): An RTF field to enter a recommendation for remediating the priority. A recommendation is the ideal advice or guidance to address a particular issue or concern. It suggests a best practice or a course of action to help prevent or mitigate security risks.

• Remediation: An RTF field to enter a remediation of the priority.

• Tags: Enter any tags associated with the client (new or existing). Any special characters will be removed, and any spaces will be replaced with an underscore (_).

Step 4: Click Link assets.

The information entered is presented on the priority details page.
