Computer Collections

This feature is currently available only to customers participating in a private preview. If you'd like to participate to be among the first to try this feature, ask our support or account team for details.

Custom Collections are inventory queries that are saved for future reuse. You can build a collection focused on what matters most to your role and your organization, and track statuses over time.

Collections are not just a way to save you from recreating the same queries every day. They can also be used to assign policies.

All collections on the platform are updated automatically every day, and they can also be updated on demand.

Creating a New Custom Collection

  1. To create a collection, click Show query builder to enable the query search.

  2. Enter your search criteria.

  3. Click Save as Collection.

  4. At the prompt, enter a name for your new collection.

  5. Click Save. You are redirected to the Collections page, where your new collection should be listed.

To check the details of the new collection, click any empty space in the collection’s row. A panel opens to the right displaying the details.

Modifying a Custom Collection

  1. To modify a custom collection, click the three dots at the right end of the collection row and click Edit. The collection page will open.

  2. On the collection page, edit the query terms as desired.

  3. When you have updated the query, you will be prompted to save your changes.

Deleting a Custom Collection

  1. To delete a custom collection, click the three dots at the right end of the collection row and click Delete from the pop-up menu.

Duplicating a Custom Collection
