Use Saved Filters

On the Findings or Assets workbenches, you can apply filters to refine your results and save the combined filters for later or share them. Saved filters are specific to a finding or asset type. For example, you cannot use a saved filter created for Host Vulnerability findings on Host Audit findings.
