Article Summary

Overview

When working with Groups and Indicators in ThreatConnect®, you can use the Custom View tab on the Details screen to display a customized view of the data that matter most to you, allowing you to make decisions more quickly during an investigation involving these object types. Each ThreatConnect user can configure two Custom View tabs for their user profile: one for all Groups in all of their owners, and one for all Indicators in all of their owners.

As you configure the Custom View tab for Groups or Indicators, you can customize the tab’s layout, select which cards to show on the tab, and specify whether to display the tab by default each time you open the Details screen.

Note
The Custom View tab is not available on the legacy Details screen.

Selecting a Custom View Tab Layout

When managing a Custom View tab, you can select one of the following tab layout options from the Layout dropdown on the Manage View drawer (Figure 1):

  • 1 Column - 100: One-column layout that takes up 100% of the available width
  • 2 Columns - 50/50 (default): Two-column layout where each column takes up 50% of the available width
  • 2 Columns - 60/40: Two-column layout where the leftmost column takes up 60% of the available width and the rightmost column takes up the remaining 40%
  • 2 Columns - 40/60: Two-column layout where the leftmost column takes up 40% of the available width and the rightmost column takes up the remaining 60%

Adding Cards to a Custom View Tab

A Custom View tab consists of one or more cards that display a variety of data that belong to the object whose Details screen you are viewing. When managing a Custom View tab, you can configure which cards to display on the tab and organize the layout of the cards via the Manage View drawer (Figure 1).

  1. On the Manage View drawer, click the + Add Cards button to display the Add Cards window (Figure 3). This window shows all cards not added to the Custom View tab for the object type (Indicator in this example). In addition, the Applicable Types column shows the object types for which each card is available.
    Note
    If you added all available cards to a Custom View tab, the + Add Cards button will be grayed out.

     

    • Select one or more cards to add to the Custom View tab. As you select cards, the Selected button at the top left of the window will update to reflect the current number of selected items. When at least one card is selected, you can click the Selected or Clear Selectionbutton to view only the selected items or clear all selections, respectively.
      Note
      To select all available cards, select the checkbox in the table header.
    • Click the Add Cards button.
  2. The Manage View drawer will display the cards selected on the Add Cards window (Figure 4). Here, you can organize the order of the cards on the Custom View tab by clicking and dragging cards to the desired position. If you selected a two-column layout for the Custom View tab, you can also click and drag cards to the desired column. To remove a card from the layout, click DeleteDelete button_Details screenon the card.

     

Important
By default, association-based cards added to a Custom View tab using a two-column layout will have a subset of their table columns displayed by default. While on the Custom View tab, click Select columnsSelect columns buttonon an association-based card to manage which table columns are displayed on the card.
Important
Cards that apply only to specific object types will list those types under the card’s name. If you add one of these cards to a Custom View tab, the card will be displayed only when viewing the Details screen for objects of those types. For example, if you add the GeoLocation card to the Indicator: Custom View tab, the card will be displayed on the tab only when viewing the Details screen for an Address Indicator.
