Filter Findings or Assets

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

The Findings and Assets workbenches use Explore tables to present your organization's data. You can filter these tables to view specific assets or findings.

Use Filters

In Explore tables on the Findings and Assets workbenches, you can use filters to view specific findings or assets.

Note: To optimize performance, Tenable limits the number of Findings filters that you can apply to 18 and the number of Asset filters that you can apply to 35.
Tip: For a list of available filters, see Findings Filters or Asset Filters.
Note: When filtering findings to generate a Findings Report, you can apply a maximum of 5 filters to each report.

To use filters in Explore tables:

  1. In the upper-left corner, click the Menu button.

    The left navigation plane appears.

  2. In the left navigation plane, under Explore, click Findings or Assets.

  3. Do one of the following:

  4. (Optional) Save the filters to access later or share with other team members.

    Tip: Tenable Vulnerability Management runs Findings searches in the background so that you can navigate away from the Findings page and return when a complex search is complete. You can also Cancel a search. Finally, Tenable Vulnerability Management caches your most recent search for 30 minutes, notes the date and time in the top toolbar, and saves the state of the Findings page for your next visit.
