Adding Custom Device Fields to the Vulnerability Instances Table

The Vulnerability Instances page displays a limited set of fields, which might obscure essential data from the Devices page and lead to incomprehensive analysis and reporting of vulnerabilities. To address this issue, you can configure up to 10 fields that will be imported from the Devices table and parsed within the Vulnerability Instances table. The imported fields will also be accessible from the All Fields section of each Vulnerability Instance's Asset Profile page.

In this process, data consistency and integrity between the Devices and Vulnerability Instances modules are maintained - meaning, the values of the imported fields update accordingly.

The imported fields appear in the Vulnerability Instances table with the name "Asset Preferred [Field Name]", except for Preferred Host Name which is there by default.
