Rankers on a scan

Every scan needs ranking rules. You compose them in the scan form from saved severity rankers plus optional scan-specific rules.

Composing the rules

  • Select any number of saved rankers - their rules are concatenated in the order you pick them.
  • Add optional scan-specific rules in the free-text box; they're appended after the selected rankers.

The combined text is what the model uses to order this scan's findings. The result can't be empty - provide at least one saved ranker or some scan-specific rules.

When ranking runs

After the workflow finishes and findings are de-duplicated, the ranker orders the canonical findings by priority. That ordering is what you see in the scan's findings list, and it drives which findings surface first.

Next: view your results.
