Brinqa User Interface

This article describes the different tabs and menus in your Brinqa Platform, how to edit the list view columns, and how to export and download your list views.

The Brinqa user interface (UI) is the main way to interact with menus and pages in your instance. Since the Brinqa UI is customizable, the exact menus in your Brinqa Platform may vary. See the Navigation Menu Items for reference.

Most of the pages in the Brinqa UI display a list view of your data. You can search through the records to limit what's displayed, and then click each item to view more details. You can also add more filters for the basic search, edit the list view columns to display more or fewer columns, select multiple items at once to perform bulk actions, or export the list view.

Your Brinqa Platform contains several pages or modules in the navigation menu. The following table describes the different items you may see in the navigation menu:

Bulk actions

The Brinqa UI supports bulk actions. You can perform certain actions to one or more selections at the same time, as opposed to performing the same action to individual records over and over.

For example, you can navigate to Findings and select one or more of the findings in the list view, and then click the Select an action menu to choose from the available actions to apply to your selected records. Actions include: create an exception request, create a risk acceptance request, or create a false positive request.

Modify list view filters

Within the list view, there are default attribute filters designed to help refine your data set. These filters are displayed next to the search bar. You can add more filters if needed. For example, to add Risk rating to the Findings page, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Findings page.

2. Click More next to the default filters.

3. Select Risk rating.

4. Click Apply.

The Risk rating filter is added to the Findings page. If you want to remove some of the default filters, please refer to Modify default filters and columns on the host list view.

Modify list view columns

You can customize what columns are displayed on the page by clicking the Select columns menu.

You can select additional columns or remove some columns. For example, the Findings page displays a default set of columns. If you want to add Risk score to the Findings page, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Findings page.

2. Click the Select columns menu.

3. Select Risk score.

4. Click Apply.

The Risk score column is added to the Findings page.

tip

You may need to scroll horizontally to the end to see the new column in the list view.

Export and download list views

You can export and download list views to share with others or edit and view in a third party spreadsheet application.

EXPORT LIMITS

The Brinqa Platform supports a limit of 200,000 records per export.

To export and download a list view, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to a list view page. For example, Inventory > All assets.

2. Click Export . A new window appears.

3. Enter a name for the export.

4. For Include, select either Displayed attributes or All exportable attributes.

   • Displayed attributes: This option includes only those attributes that are currently visible in your list view. If you have customized your list view to show specific attributes, only these will be included in the export.

   • All exportable attributes: This option includes all attributes that can be exported for the items in your list view, regardless of whether they are currently visible in your list view or not. This option is useful when you want a comprehensive export of all available data. This option might result in a larger .csv file, depending on the number of attributes available.

5. Click Export. The following message appears on the lower-left corner: "Data will be generated and it will be available on the Export page."

6. To download the export, navigate to Account > Exports. On the exports page, there are four statuses associated with your exports:
