An analyst wants to generate a PDF report containing high-level metrics about incident closure rates over the last month. Where should the analyst initiate this report generation?
2An administrator needs to modify the default layout of the Incident Info section so that custom fields appear prominently for all phishing incidents. Where should this be configured?
3An analyst is reviewing the War Room audit log and notices that an entry generated by an integration script contains sensitive API keys. How can the analyst remove this sensitive text from the War Room history?
4An administrator wants to create a new widget that displays a pie chart of incidents grouped by severity. Which widget type should be selected during creation?
5During a high-severity incident, an analyst needs to run a playbook task manually while bypassing standard automated conditional gates. How can this be accomplished from the War Room?
6An analyst needs to export all incident details, including War Room notes and playbook history, for an external compliance audit. What is the recommended approach?
7An organization requires that any incident categorized as 'Malware' must automatically display a custom widget tracking containment progress in the incident summary. How should an administrator achieve this?
8An analyst wants to quickly find all incidents assigned to them that are currently in 'Investigation' status. Which method should be used from the Incident WorkArea?
9Where can an analyst view a chronological timeline of all automated and manual actions taken within an active incident?
10An analyst notices that a custom dashboard widget is loading very slowly, causing the entire dashboard render to lag. How can the administrator optimize this specific widget's query performance?
11An analyst needs to add a private note to an incident's War Room that only specific team members can view. How should the analyst enter the note?
12An administrator wants to create a dashboard widget that counts only incidents where the SLA has been breached. Which query syntax should be used in the widget definition?
13An analyst wants to assign an unassigned incident to themselves directly from the incident view. Which button or field should they interact with?
14An administrator wants to ensure that all incidents created from a specific email integration instance automatically populate a custom field named 'SourceChannel' with the value 'Email'. Where is this mapping configured?
15An enterprise requires that all incident reports generated and emailed by XSOAR include custom branding headers and footers. Where is this template customized?
16An administrator is troubleshooting a scheduled report that fails to email its PDF output to stakeholders. Where should the administrator check first to diagnose the delivery failure?
17An analyst running a script in the War Room needs to reference the ID of the current incident dynamically. Which built-id context path represents the current incident ID?
18An analyst wants to create a custom dashboard that is visible only to members of the 'Tier2-SOC' role. How can this dashboard sharing be configured?
19An enterprise requires that incident closure reasons must be mandatory whenever an incident is closed. How can an administrator enforce this requirement?
20An administrator wants to change the refresh rate of an active dashboard so that widgets update automatically every 60 seconds. Where is this setting adjusted?
21An administrator configured a custom incident field of type 'MultiSelect', but analysts complain that they cannot select more than one option when creating a new incident. What is the most likely cause?
22An analyst wants to view incidents that were closed within the last 24 hours. Which query should be entered in the WorkArea search bar?
23An administrator wants to ensure that specific sensitive incidents are restricted so that only members of the 'IncidentResponse' team can view or edit them. How should this be implemented?
24An administrator is troubleshooting an issue where custom incident fields created in XSOAR are not appearing when analysts attempt to edit them in the Incident Info panel. What is the most likely root cause?

37Which THREE attributes can be used to filter or categorize incidents when building a custom dashboard widget query?
38When an administrator configures a custom incident type, which THREE associated configurations can be defined for that incident type?
39Which TWO built-in fields are automatically populated when a new incident is created in Cortex XSOAR?
40An XSOAR administrator needs to restrict visibility of a specific incident dashboard so that only members of the Tier-2 SOC team can view it. Where should the administrator configure this permission?
