It's been a while since I've been able to do much with our compliance manager, and a while back I upgraded to 7.4, so I'm not sure if what I'm asking is specific to 7.4 or if it was this way in earlier versions of NCM...
When I go and Manage Policy Reports, the tab selected is "Manage Reports". The view is sorted by "View Reports by Folder", which I think is the only way to do this here. All of the report folders are nicely alphabetized, just the way I want it. If I click on one of the folders, it lists the reports nicely alphabetized, still good.
However, if I go to one of the tabs. Let's take "Manage Policies" first. Here it allows me to select how I group by. If I group by "Folder", once again, everything is nicely alphabetized. And, everything in the window next to it, is alphabetized also.
However, if I change to "Appears in Report" or "Contains Rules", everything is kind of random in the first column, the window next to it stays sorted though...
It gets even worse with rules. Grouping by "Folder", "Appears in Report" and "Appears in Policy" are not sorted. Guessing "Error Level" isn't sorted either, but there are so few it doesn't matter.
I'm guessing it might have been this way all along, but it wasn't until recently that all the DISA STIG reports got put in there, which junked everything up in these displays. Which brings us to another matter, keeping things neat. Its nice to have the ability to "disable" reports, but that doesn't keep my management consoles from getting cluttered. Please give us the ability to hide things!! More details in this feature request, which you should go vote on!!
Give us the ability to "hide" Reports / Policies and Rules in Compliance Manager
