Within a page that contains a vulnerability list and Filter menu, users can filter the list as needed, e.g., Application Details, Team Details, Analytics (Vulnerability Search tab).

Applying Filters

Filter options are applied by expanding the desired section, entering/selecting the desired criteria and clicking the Apply button.

The example below shows the Scanners section expanded with two scanners selected. To add scanners, begin typing a scanner name in the entry field and select it from the autofill list.

The Issue Type pivot option only affects vulnerabilities that are Unmapped or are mapped to No CWE (CWE -1, “None”). If either of those conditions are true, the vulnerabilities will be displayed and grouped in the tree by their Scanner Vulnerability. They'll otherwise reflect the CWE name.

An example of an alternative from the default pivot is Severity vs. Scanner. Select Scanner from Secondary Pivot drop-down menu, and click the Apply button: 

Users can check which filters are currently applied by clicking the Filters Applied button, details will display as below:
