With finding libraries you can re-use findings information and build your knowledge base. Here is how:
Finding Libraries
First step is to create a Finding Library if not any.
- Open Settings in the left dashboard
- Go to Finding Libraries
- Click on Add Finding Library or edit an existing one
- Fill in the details as Name, Description and Status.
- Save it
Now that the library is created, you have to add Finding Templates.
Finding Templates
Finding Templates or a Finding itself can be added to a library in two ways:
- Creating a finding template manually
- Adding an existing finding to that library
Creating a finding template manually
- Click on the library name to open it
- Go to Finding Template
- Click on Add Finding Template button
- Fill in the fields as you do when add a standard finding in a project. Refer to this article to auto-merge findings with Finding Templates
- Save
Once it is saved, you can view the details, edit or delete the Finding Template.
Adding an existing finding to that library
First thing is to make sure the library is in status Published and not Draft.
To add a finding to a library, let's follow as below:
- Open the finding details
- Click on the three dots on the right
- Click on the Add to library
- Choose the library
- In this example, we are adding this finding to the library recently created and Save
To add more than one finding in the same library, just select as many findings you are going to add and click on Add to library
Now, if we go again to the Finding Templates of the Finding Libraries Finding Library 1, there will be 5 entries:
One created manually
One added from the finding details
Three added as a group of findings
You can export the Findings Templates to Excel at anytime by clicking in Export to Excel button.
Import from library
Beside importing findings from different builders, on Cyver Core you can also import findings from Findings libraries.
- On Import/Export button, choose Import from library
- You will see all the findings templates of all the Findings Libraries in Published status
- You can select the findings you want to import to this project directly from this view, by selecting one or more, or you can filter by Finding Library name
- Then just Next, Next, Next until you confirm the import
- Importing is successfully done
- Findings added from the library are always in status Draft and consequently not visible to client.
Merge from Library
Merge from Library is another option where you can merge information of a Finding Template to a Finding in a project.
- Open the finding details
- Click on the three dots on the right
- Click on the Merge from Library
- You can filter by finding library name or by the name of the Finding Template
- Select the finding that you want to merge the information. To represent this feature, we have updated the description of the Finding Template This is a Finding Template in advance. So. the expected result will be that the description of the finding will be updated too.
- After clicking on Next button, you have to select the fields that will be merged into the finding
- Description field is merged and updated successfully
