11.2. Filters

Filters allow you to adjust the data that is displayed in the Dashboard.

The Filter menu is located on the left side of the Dashboard. To adjust any of the various filters, click the filter label to see the available options. A short summary of the current selection will be displayed next to each filter. Once you’ve adjusted the filters, click the Apply button to update the violations list.

[Tip]

After exiting the Dashboard and/or logging out, your most recently applied filters will persist for your account when you return. Clicking Revert will also revert all filters to their last applied state.

You can also save and load your favorite filters.

To save the currently applied filter selection:

  1. Click the Manage button in the top right corner of the filter area to open the Manage Filters menu.
  2. Click the Save button to open the Save Filter modal.
  3. Enter a name in the Filter Name text box.
  4. Click Save to save the new filter. It will appear in the list of saved filters in the Manage Filters menu.

To load a previously saved filter:

  1. Click the Manage button to open the Manage Filters menu.
  2. Click the filter name in the list of saved filters. When a saved filter is loaded, the name appears at the top of the Filter menu.

To delete a saved filter:

  1. Click the Manage button to open the Manage Filters menu.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Select one or more saved filters and then click Delete.
  4. Click Continue to delete the selected filter(s).
[Note]

Saved filters are user-specific; they are not shared with others.

The available filters are described below.

Organizations
The organization filter allows you to view violations from one or more organizations, which includes violations from all applications attached to the organization(s).
Applications
The application filter allows you to select which applications you want displayed in the violation list.
Application Categories
The category filter allows you to isolate violations for applications assigned to particular categories.
Stages

Violations can occur in different stages, and some will be higher priority than others. Using this filter, you can show violations for a specific stage. The available stages include:

  • all stages
  • Build
  • Stage Release
  • Release
  • Operate
[Note]

Access to stages is limited by your product license, and the filters will reflect this.

Policy Types

The policy type filter allows you to select which types of policies you want displayed in the violation list. Type is assigned automatically based on conditions included within the policy. The following rules are used to determine a policy’s type:

Security
if it has any security conditions, it is considered a Security policy.
License
if it has any license conditions, it is considered a License policy.
Quality
if it has any age or popularity conditions, it is considered a Quality policy.
Other
if none of its conditions are of types mentioned above, it is considered to be of type Other.
[Note]

A policy can only ever be of one type. If a policy has conditions that meet more than one of the rules above, the order above dictates the type of policy. For example, if a policy has security and license conditions, it is considered to be of type Security.

Policy Threat Levels

The Policy Threat Level filter is a slider that allows you to select the threat level or a range of threat levels for policy violations.

[Note]

By default, the Policy Threat Level filter has already been set to only display policy violations with a threat greater than or equal to 2. As a result, the Low threat violations are not displayed in the violation list.
