Abstract

Section header tasks are used to manage the flow of your playbook and help you organize your tasks efficiently.

Section headers are used to manage the flow of your playbook and help you organize your tasks efficiently. You create a section header to group a number of related tasks.

Section headers can also be used for time tracking between phases in a playbook. When you start time tracking, apply the Start action for the section header. Because you are using this to time track a particular phase of an investigation, add a stop timer section header when the phase completes. The time tracking data can be used to display in dashboards and report time trends.

  1. In a playbook, click + to create a task.

  2. Select the Section Header option.

  3. Enter a meaningful name in the Task Name field for the section header.

  4. Configure the relevant fields.

    Timers

    For a time tracking header, select the action to take when the timer is triggered (start, stop, or pause).

    • Add Trigger: You can add other trigger timer fields from the drop down.
