Filtering Vulnerabilities

You can use filters to delimit the number of vulnerabilities that display in the List view in the Vulnerabilities page. You can also save filter views to easily use later. Your active filters will be used for reports exports. The number between brackets displayed by each filter indicates the number of items that matches the filter. You can also use the filter controls to provide a method of organizing your search and filtered results. The following table shows the icons displayed with each filter box. Icons Next to the Filter Title In the upper-left side of the page, you can see any filters you have applied. Remove filters by clicking the icon next to the filter. Or clear all filters by clicking Reset.
When applying filters, the search uses the logical AND operator if the used filters are different. However, when the filter is of the same type, the search uses the logical OR operator.
Those filters that have more than 10 options include a Filter Value search field for writing text and making the search easier. To search vulnerabilities using a filter
  1. Go to Vulnerabilities.
  2. Click a filter. The result of your search displays the identified vulnerabilities.
