Using the Vulnerability Management Dashboard page allows you to group your Risk Meters into views specific to your audience or needs. This topic will help you navigate the Dashboard page and outlines the many tasks that you can perform on the page.
When you first open the Dashboard page, your Default Dashboard View and all of the Risk Meters contained in that view display. By default, the Default Dashboard View is called “My Risk Meters” and contains all of the Risk Meters that you have access to.
Filter and Sort Options
Looking for a specific subset of Risk Meter names? Want to see every risk meter that has a red score? Want to sort the Risk Meters in a custom order? You can use the various search and sort options to help organize your Risk Meters in a way that makes sense for your organization.
Card View vs List View
There are two view options on the overview page: Card View and List View.
Card View
Card View displays the Risk Meter dial and score with buttons to access the Top Fixes or Reporting pages.
Viewing Child Risk Meters in Card View
From the Dashboard card view, you can view all your risk meters including icons that indicate the presence of descendant meters.
Clicking a Child icon opens a new window that displays the children of the parent risk meter. Continue clicking Child icons to move deeper into the hierarchy.
Available Options in Card View
Clicking the ‘i” key on your keyboard will bring up the Risk Group Overview for that Risk Meter. Here you can see the count of assets, vulnerabilities, and more.
You can hover over the Risk Meter name and click the arrow to display some additional options:
Show Counts: Provides you with the Risk Group Overview, which is the same as clicking the “i” key on your keyboard.
Show Trendline: Changes the score dial into a trendline that shows you the last 90 days performance for that Risk Meter.
Edit: Allows you to edit the Name of the Risk Meter, and which roles have access. You can also click Edit on the Vulnerability Management Explore page which will take you to Edit mode in the Vulnerability Management Explore page to edit the criteria for the Risk Meter.
Delete: Allows you to delete the Risk Meter. Note: This is a permanent action and cannot be undone. This will delete the risk meter from Cisco Vulnerability Management entirely, not just the Dashboard page.
List View
List view allows you to view a list of your Risk Meters in that view instead of the score dial. You will see the number of assets and vulnerabilities for each group along with the score. Hovering over the name of the Risk Meter will display the Reporting, Top Fixes, Edit and Delete actions as well.
View Child Risk Meters in List View
You can also view descendant risk meters in the List View. The risk meters appear with the ability to expand and collapse risk groups.
In the List View, you can access the Assets and Vulnerabilities links, which open in the Vulnerability Management Explore page.
Tip: You can follow the breadcrumb trail in the list view or card view to navigate back through the risk meter levels or return to the Dashboard.
Create Dashboard Views
You can create additional Dashboard views that contain subsets of your Risk Groups. Client administrators can create Global and Shared dashboard views. They can be made available to everyone (Global) or limited to specific user roles (Shared). Note that anyone granted access can see these Global/Shared dashboard views but only client administrators can create/edit them.
1, On the Vulnerability Management Dashboard page, click Add Dashboard View.
2. Enter a Name for the view, and select the risk groups to add to the view. If you are Client administrator, decide who can see the Dashboard view.
3. Click Save Dashboard View.
Note: The risk meters visible to a specific user on a shared dashboard are determined by the role-based access controls (RBAC) in place. If a shared dashboard has 10 risk meters on it but the specific user only has permission to see eight of them, then they will only see those eight.
Set Your Default Dashboard
Every Cisco Vulnerability Management user can choose their own default dashboard. It can be one they create themselves or it can be a global/shared dashboard that an administrator created. This default dashboard displays each time they log in to Cisco Vulnerability Management and open the Vulnerability Management Dashboard page.
To select your default dashboard , click on the star next to its name.
Global and Shared Dashboard Views
Client administrators can create Global and Shared dashboard views. you can make them available to everyone (Global) or limited to specific user roles (Shared). Note that these Global/Shared dashboard views can be viewed by everyone granted access but they can only be created and edited by client administrators.
Global and Shared dashboard views are created using the same steps as other dashboard views. You’ll see the options available in the Create New Dashboard View screen:
Note: The risk meters visible to a specific user on a shared dashboard are determined by the role-based access controls (RBAC) in place. If a shared dashboard has 10 risk meters on it but the specific user only has permission to see eight of them, then they will only see those eight.
