Assets: find the right screen

Every screen in this module, what each one is for, and where it lives. Use it to find the right screen quickly, and to confirm you are on the one a colleague means — several screens in this product have similar names and different jobs.

Screenshots come from a demonstration data set, so the figures are illustrative. Click any screenshot to open it at full resolution.

API Assets

Service endpoints assessed separately from the applications that consume them.

Assets → API Assets

Asset Dashboard

How many assets of each type, and how their criticality is spread across projects. The split matters more than the totals — it shows where the important assets actually sit.

Assets → Asset Dashboard

Asset Decommissioning

Requests to retire an asset, and who each is waiting on. Decommissioning preserves history; deleting hides the record.

Setting → Decommission → Asset Decommissioning

Asset Main Dashboard

Posture across the whole inventory, sectioned by asset type. Which sections appear is set by the dashboard profile.

Assets → Main Dashboard

Asset Properties

Custom fields defined on assets — data classification, hosting region, compliance scope. They become filterable everywhere the asset appears.

Setting → Asset Management → Asset Properties

Asset Sync Configuration

Maps a CMDB’s columns onto NxSAM’s asset fields, and sets the schedule. Where a sync is configured, treat the source system as authoritative.

Setting → Asset Management → Asset Sync Configuration

Audit Calendar Planner

Assessment coverage planned across a period. Each plan shows how much of it has been done, so a plan nobody is executing is visible.

Setting → Audit Calendar Planner → Audit Calendar Planner

Business Units

The middle level of the grouping hierarchy. Every asset sits under a project, which sits under one of these.

Setting → Asset Management → Business Units

Container Assets

Container images by repository and tag. A tag change is a different asset.

Assets → Container Assets

Manage Dashboard Views

Create and edit dashboard profiles — which sections and widgets appear, and the default filter applied.

Assets → Main Dashboard → Manage Dashboard Views

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android applications, identified by package or bundle rather than URL.

Assets → Mobile Applications

Network Asset Map

Relates network hosts to the applications running on them, so an application finding can be traced to its infrastructure.

Setting → Asset Management → Network Asset Map

Projects

The narrowest grouping level, and the one most reports group by.

Setting → Asset Management → Projects

Thick Clients

Installed desktop software tracked as assets in their own right.

Assets → Thick Clients

Web Applications

The web application inventory. One row per site or web-based system, with its URL and open findings.

Assets → Web Applications
