Required Tenable.io Web Application Scanning User Role: Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

You can create a custom dashboard or use the Template Library to create a copy from the available templates. Dashboards let you drill down to view the details of each widget.

Caution: Custom dashboards from the legacy Asset and Vulnerability workbenches or the classic interface do not transfer to the new Explore workbench. To recreate them, complete the following steps.

Important: The Template Library in Tenable.io includes Explore dashboard templates. The Explore dashboard templates are marked with Explore at the end of the template name. For example: Vulnerability Management (Explore). From the dashboards that you create from these templates, you can drill down to the Findings or Assets pages. To add an Explore dashboard, see Enable Explore Dashboards.
