Step 1: Access the Asset List

  • Start by accessing your asset list on the Edgescan platform, where you can view all of your monitored assets.

Step 2: Assigning Priority to an Asset

  • To assign or modify the priority of an asset, locate the asset you wish to categorise.
  • Click on the asset to open its details page.
  • Click on the "Edit asset configuration" button, located to the right of the "Asset Configuration" text.
  • Look for the priority setting option, which allows you to assign a numerical value from 1 to 10.

Step 3: Understanding Priority Values

  • It's important to note that within Edgescan, a priority value of 10 indicates the highest level of importance, whereas 1 represents the lowest.
  • This priority does not affect the way Edgescan tests your assets but is crucial for reporting purposes. When generating default reports, assets will be listed with their assigned priorities, helping stakeholders understand which areas require immediate attention.
