How to Use Filters to Find Scan Results

This topic describes how to use the Filter feature to find Scan Results based on specific criteria.

Overview

The filters available in Spirion Sensitive Data Platform on the "Scan Results" page provide a very powerful way of examining your scan results.

Use what you know when filtering scan results - the scan name, the date/time when the scan was most recently run, scan playbook status, Target being scanned, etc.

Note: You can filter by more than one attribute. That is, multiple different filters (Scan Name and Data Type), or multiple instances of the same filter type (for example, filter for both Confluence and GiHub Targets). Note that adding multiple filters can extend the wait time for search results.

Scan Names: Instant Filtering

You do not need to know the exact term or name of what you are filtering for.

  • Filter data is indexed
  • As you enter text into a filter field, options are instantly filtered by the entered text
  • This enables you to find a Playbook, by name, for example, by entering only a portion of the playbook name
