You can create rules to automatically group test results based on filter conditions.
These rules automatically group test results as they are imported. Use the filter to limit
the test results grouped by this rule, such as selecting all test results with
exploits.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_vulc.admin

## About this task

The base system ships with one remediation task rule, Assignment group, Test, which groups test results by assignment group (pre-populated from Assignment Rules) and the test result
Test field. This rule can be modified using filter conditions and group keys. Group keys are columns in the test results table. Select up to six keys to indicate what values should be used to group the
test results.

Starting with version 14.7 of Configuration Compliance, the Assignment group, Test remediation task rule is deactivated for new implementations.  
Note:  
New or updated rules are automatically evaluated on the next import or manually using the Reapply button on the Remediation Task Rule form.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllConfiguration ComplianceAdministrationRemediation Task Rules.
2. Open the Assignment group, Test rule or click New.  
3. If New, fill in the fields on the form, as appropriate.
