Searching for compliance checks

Since your SA core can potentially contain dozens, if not hundreds, of compliance checks, you can use the search tool inside the Audit or Snapshot Specification window to find the checks you want.

To search for compliance checks from inside an audit or snapshot specification:

1. In the Audit or Snapshot Specification window, from the Views pane expand the Rules object.
2. Select the Compliance Checks rule.
3. In the content pane, click Add .
4. In the Select Check window, from the Browse tab, you can browse for the compliance checks categories and select a check for the audit or snapshot.
5. Select the Search tab to search for checks by name. The check search tool searches on the name of a check and any words in a check’s description. For example, if you wanted to find all rules that check for maximum password length, you could enter max password in the Keywords field.
6. Click the Advanced Search link to build more specific search criteria. Advanced search allows to look for a text string plus restrict the query to values in the check’s properties, such as Security Level, External ID, Platforms, and Test ID. Click to add additional advanced search parameters.
   
   For information on how to add a Test ID, Security Level, or External ID to your compliance check properties, see Editing compliance check properties.
7. To execute the search, click Search.
8. In the search results, you can select the checks you want to add to the audit or snapshot specification and then click OK.
