Topics

FutureVuls has a Topic feature that allows you to share vulnerability information within groups and organizations. You can post investigation results and risk levels for vulnerabilities to share knowledge within your organization.

Topics can be viewed and created by selecting a vulnerability from the vulnerability list and then selecting the Topic tab.

Creating and Deleting Topics

You can create a topic by opening the Topics screen, entering a title and comment, and submitting.
