You can also filter configuration items (CIs) that have similar vulnerabilities or that fall within a particular subnet IP address range.") to define the workflow trigger criteria. |
   | Filter group | Select the filter group to use for defining workflow triggers. This field appears only if the Use filter groups check box is selected. |
