Creating Asset Views
For the sake of demonstration, a custom field named 'Compliance Scope' has been defined for the assets and now we are going to apply filters which will retrieve the assets which fall under the PCI compliance scope.
- Navigate to 'Assets'.
- Click on 'Advanced Filters'.
- Click on 'Add Rule'
- Select the option as 'COMPLIANCE SCOPE'.
- Choose the value as 'PCI'.
- Click on 'Apply' and the assets which have a value of 'PCI' assigned to their 'COMPLIANCE SCOPE' field will get retrieved.
- You can also save this view by clicking on 'Save as new view'.
NOTE: If any custom fields get deleted, then all the views which use those custom fields will also get deleted.
