Automatically Update Widgets on a Dashboard

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Basic, Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

To provide the most up-to-date vulnerability information, Tenable updates or adds new dashboard widgets when, for example, a new vulnerability is exposed or when Tenable Vulnerability Management adds a new vulnerability filter. When Tenable updates these widgets, you can view and automatically update them in one of the following ways:

  • Dashboards page — On the Dashboards page, you can update all updated widgets on a dashboard at one time.

  • Dashboard Template Library — When creating a custom dashboard via the Template Library, you can view new or updated widgets and add them to the custom dashboard.

    Note: On predefined dashboard templates, Tenable Vulnerability Management always includes the most recent version of widgets.

  • Widget Library — In the Widget Library, you can view new or updated widgets and add them to up to ten individual dashboards.

  2. In the Groups section, click the Updates Available tab.
