Customize an Indicator Type Layout - Administrator Guide - 8 - Cortex XSOAR - Cortex - Security Operations

Go to Settings & Info → Settings → Object Setup → Indicators → Layouts.

(Content Pack Indicator Type Layout) Detach the indicator layout.

Right-click the indicator layout you want to detach and click Detach.

Right-click the name of the indicator type layout and click Edit.

You are presented with the current layout, which is populated with demo data so you can see how the fields fit.

In the Indicator Summary tab, customize the tabs.

1. Drag and drop the tab to reorder the tabs.

2. Configure the tabs by clicking the settings cog wheel icon next to the Summary tab name and then select one of the following options.

   • Rename

   • Duplicate

   • Delete

   • Show Empty Fields

     The setting that you configure in the layout becomes the default value seen in the indicator for the specific tab, which can then be overridden.

   • Hide tab

   • Format for exporting

     Build your layout based on A4 proportions to match the format used for exporting. Selecting this option hides the tab by default, but the tab will remain available for export.

   • Viewing Permissions

     Select which roles can view the tabs.

   • Display Filter

     Enables you to add or view a filter applied to the tab. If the filters apply, the specific fields or tabs are shown in the layout. If the mandatory field is not shown in the layout, the user is not obliged to complete it.

Add sections to the layout.

1. From the Sections tab in the Library, drag and drop the sections as follows:

   Section	Description
   New Section	After creating a new section, click the Fields and Buttons tab and drag and drop the fields as required.
   Cortex XSOAR out-of-the-box sections	Out-of-the-box sections such as Expiration Status, Verdict, etc.
   General Purpose Dynamic Section	Enables you to Add a Script in the Indicator Layout. For example, assign a script that determines and displays the Geo location of an IP address on a map. You can Set up Google Maps in Cortex XSOAR SaaS to use map automations.

2. Define the section properties, by clicking and then Edit section settings.

   You can determine how a section in the layout appears in the layout. For example, whether the section include the section header. You can also configure the fields to appear in rows or as cards. For example, if you know that some of the field values will be very long, you are better off using rows. If you know that the field values are short, you might want to use cards so you can fit more fields in a section.

3. To remove or duplicate a section, select the section, click and then select Duplicate or Remove.

Drag and drop fields, and add any filters as required.

Add any custom buttons.

To add a custom button, create a script and then add New Button to the indicator layout and choose the script, as described in the example below. These buttons can simplify and assist an analyst in carrying out various tasks. For example, you can create a button to run an enrichment script on an identified indicator.

For fields (script arguments) that are optional, you can define whether to show them to analysts when they click on buttons. To expose an optional field, select the Ask User checkbox next to the script argument/s in the button settings page.

In the following example we want to create a button which adds the indicator to a Hunt incident type, so the Threat Intel team can review it.

1. Save the following script as a Python file on your computer. On the Settings page, click the upload automation icon and upload the file.

   commonfields:
     id: d3716514-4c2b-453c-8072-4fd4807bca0a
     version: 30
   vcShouldKeepItemLegacyProdMachine: false
   name: newIncidentFromIndicator
   script: |+
     from pprint import pformat
   
     args = demisto.args()
   
     fields = {}
     fields['type'] = args['type']
     fields['details'] = args['indicator']['value']
     fields['name'] = args['type'] + " for " + args['indicator']['value']
   
     res = demisto.executeCommand('createNewIncident', fields)
   
   
   
     newID = res[0]['EntryContext']['CreatedIncidentID']
   
     demisto.executeCommand("associateIndicatorsToIncident", {"indicatorsValues": args['indicator']['value'], "incidentId":int(newID)})
   
   
   type: python
   tags:
   - indicator-action-button
   enabled: true
   args:
   - name: type
     required: true
     description: Incident Type
   scripttarget: 0
   subtype: python3
   pswd: ""
   runonce: false
   dockerimage: demisto/python3:3.8.5.11789
   runas: DBotWeakRole

2. Go to Settings & Info → Settings → Object Setup → Indicators → Layouts and click the relevant indicator type layout.

3. From the Fields and Buttons tab, drag +New Button and drop into the relevant section.

4. Click Click to configure.

5. Enter a descriptive name for the button. For this example, we call it Pass to Threat Hunt Team.

6. Select a color.

7. Select the script we added above - newIncidentFromIndicator.

8. In the type field, add Hunt.

9. Click Save.

   In the Summary tab, you can see the new button:

   When you view an indicator and click this button, an incident is created with the Hunt incident type.

10. To test, go to the Threat Intel (Indicators) page, create a new indicator, and assign it to the relevant indicator type. View the indicator, click the Pass to Threat Hunt Team button, and verify that a new incident is created.

Add required sections and fields in the Quick View tab.

Add the layout to the indicator.

1. Go to Settings & Info → Settings → Object Setup → Indicators → Types.

2. Select the indicator type and click Edit.

3. In the Layout field, from the dropdown list, add the customized layout.
