Creating custom checklists

Use this wizard to create custom checklists.

Before you begin

You must be subscribed to the SCM Reporting external site.

Procedure

From the Security Configuration Domain, go to Configuration Management > Checklist Tools > Create Custom Checklist.
Enter the name of the new checklist.
Select the target platform.
Click the drop-down menu to select which external checklist you copy the checks from. As you select the checks, they are shown in the staged list at the lower part of the window.
Optional: Click the Activate Measured Value analyses after copying check box to activate all analyses that were copied.
Click Create Checklist.

Results

The console begins copying the checks in the selected lists into your new custom checklist. The process might take several minutes, depending on the number and size of the checklists selected.

Note: Use care when you subscribe computers to custom checklists. Custom checklists do not support site relevance, which protects you from bad subscriptions.
