You can use the default dashboard provided by Qualys or easily configure widgets to pull information from other modules/applications and add them to your dashboard. You can also add as many dashboards as you like to customize your vulnerability posture view. For help on creating widgets, dashboards, templates and more, refer to the Unified Dashboard online help.
Go to the PC Dashboard to have a single-glance perspective into the overall compliance posture of all the assets in your subscription.
Leverage the powerful dashboarding capabilities to keep a close watch on any change in the asset posture across your environment, so that you can take immediate action to close potential security threats. For example, the following dashboard widget gives you an insight into the assets for which the compliance posture has changed from 'Pass' to 'Fail'; thus, helping you identify assets that need immediate attention.
The PC dashboard is a central place to help you easily visualize compliance data along with key metrics. The following dashboard widget shows the bifurcation of compliance failure data between operating systems, databases and middleware technologies; thereby helping you with the much-needed granularity across assets and their current compliance information.
When you add a new widget to your PC Dashboard, you'll see several options available for different widget types: Numerical, Bar, Table and Pie. We'll show you a few examples below to help you get started.

You can use a hex code in the color picker to customize the data displayed on a widget. You'll see this option in the Display Settings.
For Bar and Pie type widgets, you can use the Color Library to assign custom color schemes for the data.
