Yes, you can change the risk scoring distribution levels in a policy template report.  When you run a security checkup report, Vulnerability Manager displays a pie chart showing the distribution of endpoints in each risk score range.  By default, Vulnerability Manager assigns the risk scoring distribution levels shown in the following table:

Risk Scoring Level	Risk Score Range
Low Risk	0 - 100
Medium Risk	101 - 200
High Risk	201 or higher

 

Using the Policy Template Wizard, you can change the default risk scoring levels of an existing or new policy template.

To change the risk scoring levels of a policy template:

1. Open Vulnerability Manager.
2. In the tree pane, expand Security Knowledge > Policy Templates.
   
   
3. If you want to create a new policy template with custom risk scoring levels:
1. Click My Templates.
2. In the Actions menu, select New Policy Template. Follow the instructions in the Policy Template Wizard.
3. On the Properties tab, select the appropriate risk severity range.
4. Type the lowest risk score you want to include in the range in the Lowest Score field.
5. Enter other appropriate template information and click Finish.
   
   
4. If you want to edit the risk scoring levels of an existing policy template:
1. Click the appropriate policy template folder.
2. In the Actions menu, select Edit.
3. On the Properties tab, select the appropriate risk severity range.
4. Type the lowest risk score you want to include in the range in the Lowest Score field.
