Configure a Simple Matrix Dashboard Component

For more information, see Dashboards and Matrix Component Options.

Before you begin:

• Begin adding a custom matrix dashboard component, as described in Add a Custom Dashboard Component.

To construct a simple matrix dashboard component:

1. On the Add Matrix Component page, in the Name box, type a name for the dashboard component.

2. Type a Description for the dashboard component.

3. In the Cells section, select the number of Columns and Rows for the matrix.

   

   For example, 5 columns and 3 rows.

4. Click Generate Cells.

   The matrix editor appears.

5. Next to the header label, click the menu.

   The actions menu appears.

6. Click Edit Header.

7. Type a Label for the column or row header.

8. Click Submit.

   The matrix editor appears, with the new header label displayed.

   

9. Repeat the header label steps for the other header cells.

10. Hover over the body cells and click the edit icon.

    The Add Matrix Component page appears.

11. Customize the matrix component options.

    For example, this matrix component displays Vulnerability data by a ratio from the Cumulative database. The numerator filters are looking for vulnerabilities that have an exploit available with a Critical severity discovered within the last 7 days. The Denominator filters are for vulnerabilities that have a Critical severity discovered within the last 7 days. The rules are looking for percentages of the vulnerabilities that match and designate the ratio value with the corresponding color based on the percentages found.

    

12. Repeat the body cell steps for the other body cells.

    In the example above, the other cells are similar with many of the same rules. The differences are adding a Numerator filter to include the Exploit Framework we are looking for and a Denominator filter for the Exploit Available option.

    

13. Click Submit.

    The matrix element appears.
