It allows you to adapt CVSS Base Metrics to the security and organizational requirements of your IT environment. This helps you better assess the actual risk that detected vulnerabilities pose to your organization. The Environmental Score manager allows you to select predefined ENVS metrics for assigned hosts or groups of hosts to calculate their security risk based on your infrastructure. {% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb" %} For more information on what individual Environmental Score metrics mean and how they relate to the CVSS Base Metrics, see our Knowledge Base: [What exactly do the Environmental Score metrics in the Enginsight ENVS Manager mean?](https://docs.enginsight.com/docs/knowledge-base/english/risk-scores/what-exactly-do-the-environmental-score-metrics-in-the-enginsight-envs-manager-mean) {% endhint %} *** Navigate to **Hosts** → **Environmental Score Manager** to show a list of all configured ENVS managers. If you have not created an ENVS manager yet, this view is empty.

The [ENVS manager overview](#envs-manager-overview) provides information such as: * which hosts an Environmental Score created via an ENVS manager applies to. * which metrics and values, shown as vector abbreviations, make up an Environmental Score. * which priority an ENVS manager has. You can also [export ENVS managers](#exporting-envs-managers) and [add new ENVS managers](#add-envs-manager). *** ## Navigation Click the **Text Search** field above the list and enter a search term of your choice to find specific list items more quickly. Click the **Refresh** icon above the list to update all list items. Scroll down the list or adjust the number of results shown per page ![](https://2423388680-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FV7OrHgKXA0t1jankQBYf%2Fuploads%2FfjKACCt2SKXcFd3S7Xb5%2FEnginsight-EN-Results%20per%20Page.jpg?alt=media\&token=e1650160-7a41-4965-aaca-6975db758dbe) to view additional entries.

Available Filters

Parameter	Type	Description
Priority	String	Filter by all ENVS managers with a specific priority, or exclude them from the results. All available priority values are shown.

*** ## ENVS Manager: Overview The ENVS manager overview is structured as a table.

The following information is shown:

Column	Description
Name	Shows the custom name of the ENVS manager and an additional description, if provided. Click the name of an ENVS manager to navigate to the respective edit view. Here you can adjust configured settings and delete the ENVS manager.
Priority	Shows the custom priority that applies to an ENVS manager and the Environmental Score defined in it. If several ENVS managers are assigned to the same host, the Environmental Score of the ENVS manager with the higher priority is applied.
References	Shows the hosts or tags for groups of hosts that are assigned to the ENVS manager or excluded from it.
ENVS Metrics (Vectors)	Shows the selected Environmental Score metrics and the corresponding values as vector abbreviations.
Created on	Shows the date and time when the ENVS manager was created.
Changed on	Shows the date and time when the ENVS manager was last edited.

*** ## Adding an ENVS Manager You have two options for adding an ENVS manager. You can either create a new ENVS manager or import one or more ENVS managers that you previously exported, for example from other organizations. ### Option 1: Creating a New ENVS Manager Click **Add ENVS Manager** in the upper-right corner and select **Create New** from the submenu that opens to [add a new ENVS manager](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/hosts/vulnerability-management/environmental-score-manager/add-environmental-score-manager.md#create-envs-manager). ### Option 2: Importing an ENVS Manager Click **Add ENVS Manager** in the upper-right corner and select **Import** from the submenu that opens to [import one ore more ENVS managers](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/hosts/vulnerability-management/environmental-score-manager/add-environmental-score-manager.md#import-envs-manager). *** ## Exporting ENVS Managers Click **Export Environmental Score Manager** in the upper-right corner to open a new window in which all available ENVS managers are selected for export by default.

Click **Export All** to export all or only the selected ENVS managers. The export is provided in ZIP format. {% hint style="info" %} You can find the exported file in the default download location of your browser. {% endhint %} Click **Cancel** to return to the list overview. ### Assigned References Here you can define specific ENVS managers for export. Click the **Environmental Score Manager** field to expand a list of all available ENVS managers and select one or more ENVS managers to export. Click the **Remove** icon next to an added ENVS manager to remove it from the **Environmental Score Manager** field again. #### Excluded References Here you can define which ENVS managers should be excluded from the export. {% hint style="info" %} Specifying excluded references is optional. {% endhint %} Click **Define Exceptions** next to **Assigned References** to show the options for excluded references. Configure all settings in the same way as for an assigned reference. ### Direct References Here you can specify how direct references should be handled during export. Direct references are objects referenced by ID, such as specific hosts, that cannot be transferred to other environments. The following options are available:

Option	Description
Skip Entries with Direct References	Select this option to skip all ENVS managers that contain directly referenced objects and exclude them from the export.
Remove Direct References	Select this option to export all ENVS managers that contain directly referenced objects, but remove those objects from the respective ENVS manager.

*** ## ENVS Manager: Edit View Click the name of an ENVS manager to navigate to the respective edit view. Here you can adjust [configured settings](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/hosts/vulnerability-management/environmental-score-manager/add-environmental-score-manager.md#name-and-description) and delete the ENVS manager. The following actions are available:

Option	Description
Save Changes	Click Save Changes after adjusting any settings. Please note: Unsaved changes cannot be recovered.
Back	Click Back to return to the list overview.
Remove	Click Remove, then confirm the prompt that appears to delete the object that you are editing. Please note: Deleted objects cannot be recovered.
