# Open search results in Vulnerability Manager Workspace

Open search results in Vulnerability Manager Workspace instead of classic UI by changing the application scope.

## Before you begin

Role required:

-   sn\_vul.vulnerability\_analyst, sn\_vul.vulnerability\_admin or sn\_vul.read\_all for host vulnerable items \(VITs\)
-   sn\_vul.app\_sec\_manager or sn\_vul.app\_read\_all for application vulnerable items \(AVITs\)
-   sn\_vul\_container.vulnerability\_analyst, sn\_vul\_container.vulnerability\_admin or sn\_vul\_container.read\_all for container vulnerable items \(CVITs\)
-   sn\_vulc.admin or sn\_vulc.read for configuration test results \(TRs\)

## About this task

Example: If you search for a host vulnerable item with its number in the **Search** field by setting the application scope to Vulnerability Manager Workspace, the VIT opens in its record view in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace.

## Procedure

1.  In the unified navigation bar, select the Globe icon \[Omitted image "globe-fill-24.svg"\] Alt text: Application scope icon.

2.  Select **Application Scope**.

3.  Set the scope to **Vulnerability Manager Workspace**.


## What to do next

When you search for records such as VITs, remediation tasks, state change approvals, and so on, in the **Search** field in the unified navigation bar, the records open in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace.

When the scope is not Global, the Globe icon displays with a red ring \[Omitted image "icon-scope-change.png"\] Alt text: Application scope icon. Select it again to change the scope.
