Tree View Host Tab

Host displays the hosts loaded in the current session of the scanner. If more than one subnet is loaded, the Host View can be expanded or collapsed, similarly to the way the Contents tab of this Help system works. Selecting either the top node of the tree or a subnet node, marked by a plus sign (+), displays the host properties in the List View for the subnet which is selected. When the Vulnerability, Service, or User modes are selected, the Tree View displays your network organized by topic. This allows the scan operator to quickly review the vulnerabilities, services, and users found during a scan or within a saved session. When a Service, Vulnerability, or User node is expanded, it displays the hosts found within that node.

When you click on a host in Tree View, the List View (to the right of Tree View) can be tabbed to display host properties, scan status, services, vulnerabilities, and users. While the scanner is running, clicking on the top level in Tree View with Vulnerability or Service selected activates the Properties tab in List View, so that you can see a list of the Vulnerabilities or Services detected by the Scanner as it checks your network.
