• The AffectedList and AffectedCount Controls

The Affected control

The Affected content control adds a field to your report that displays a comma-separated list of the nodes affected by each issue. For a vertical list of affected nodes, you can use the AffectedList control.

The Affected content control takes the list of affected nodes you're used to seeing on each issue "Evidence tab" in Dradis:

and creates the same list in your report:

Add the Affected Control To the Issue Control

The Affected content control must be applied within an Issue content control otherwise there is no context for it.

Insert the Affected content control inside the issue content control on your report template:

1. Within the Issues content control, add a new Rich Text Content Control.
2. Assign the Affected tag to the title field. (Remember that Word automatically populates the tag if you do not provide one)
   
3. Add in other formatting or styling (like headings) to your template. Your template should now look similar to this one with the Affected control nested within the Issue control.
   

Now, after you upload your report template to Dradis, you can export your report and see the list of affected nodes for each issue.

Because the Affected title is already given meaning within Dradis, you do not have to adjust anything within Dradis in order to include the Affected content control in your report.

The AffectedList and AffectedCount controls

The AffectedList content control works exactly the same way as the Affected content control, except that it creates a vertical list (separated by line breaks) instead of a comma-separated list. It works with and without bullet points.

Insert it in your template the same way as you would the Affected content control:

The AffectedCount content control counts the number of nodes affected by an issue. This is only a count of the nodes, not of evidence! Therefore, if you have 10 pieces of evidence for an issue affecting 2 nodes, the AffectedList content control will give a value of 2 in your exported report. If you want to count evidence, consider using an EvidenceCounter content control instead.

Insert the AffectedCount content control the same way as you would an Affected or AffectedList content control. You will not need to adjust anything within Dradis for these content controls to work.
