Manual Entry Configuration

The Manual Entry Configuration page allows Software Risk Manager administrators to define custom values which can be entered into certain fields in the Manual Results.

Click the Settings icon in the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Configuration from the top menu to open the Manual Entry Configuration page.



This page displays a list of existing detection methods and allowed tools. From here, you can add, delete, or rename detection methods, and add or remove allowed tools.

For more information on detection methods and allowed tools, see the following topics:

Managing Detection Methods

Software Risk Manager provides built-in detection methods, which explains how a finding was discovered. These built-in detection methods reflect the types of tools currently supported by Software Risk Manager. For manual entry, you may wish to specify your own custom detection methods.

Adding a Detection Method

To add a new detection method:
  1. Click the Settings icon from the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Config from the top menu.


  2. Click Add Detection Method.


  3. Enter a name for the detection method.
  4. Click Save.

Renaming a Detection Method

You can rename your custom detection methods as needed. However, the built-in detection methods cannot be edited in any way (indicated by the lock icon next to their edit/delete buttons).

To rename a detection method:
  1. Click the Settings icon from the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Config from the top menu.


  2. Click the dropdown configuration icon to the right of the detection method and select Rename.


    This opens the Rename Detection Method window.



  3. Enter a different name for the detection method.
  4. Click Save.

Deleting a Detection Method

You can delete any unused custom detection methods (i.e., as long as no manually entered results use it as their own detection method). If your custom detection method is in use when you try to delete it, you will have to choose a replacement. All results using that detection method will be edited to use the replacement detection method instead. This will likely trigger the recorrelation prompt, since detection method is one of the correlation criteria.

To delete a detection method:
  1. Click the Settings icon from the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Config from the top menu.


  2. Click the dropdown configuration icon and select Delete.


    This opens the Delete Detection Method window.



  3. Click Delete to confirm.

Managing Allowed Tools

The Allowed Tools section lets you define which tools will appear in the Tool dropdown in the Manual Result form. The names you add to this list do not necessarily need to correspond to a tool known to Software Risk Manager, or even a real tool, for that matter: you can enter any tool name you want.

Note: Unlike the Detection Methods delete, you don't need to pick a replacement to delete an item in this list; this list only controls which tools are available when creating a new manual result, not which tools exist.

Adding an Allowed Tool

To add an allowed tool:
  1. Click the Settings icon from the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Config from the top menu.


  2. Click the Add Allowed Tool button.


  3. Enter the name of the tool.
  4. Click Save.

Deleting an Allowed Tool

To delete an allowed tool:
  1. Click the Settings icon from the navigation bar and select Manual Entry Config from the top menu.


  2. Click the dropdown configuration icon to the right of the allowed tool and select Delete.


    This opens the Delete Allowed Tool window.



  3. Click Delete to confirm.
