Default fields

Following our approach with providers, EvidenceHub also doesn't come with pre-configured default fields. This FAQ explains the reasoning behind this decision and how it benefits our users.

Key Reasons for Not Pre-Configuring Fields

  1. User Diversity
    • What's useful for one user might not be relevant for another.
    • The fields needed can vary greatly depending on the user's role, industry, and specific use cases.
  2. Flexibility
    • Different providers offer different fields, and these can change over time.
    • A flexible approach allows users to adapt quickly to new or changed fields from providers.
  3. Efficiency
    • Pre-configuring fields that aren't used by everyone could clutter the interface and potentially slow down searches.

Benefits of Our Approach

  1. Customization
    • Users can select and configure only the fields that are relevant to their specific needs.
    • This leads to a more streamlined and efficient workflow.
  2. Relevance
    • By configuring their own fields, users ensure that they're only working with data that's directly relevant to their tasks.
  3. Learning and Understanding
    • The process of selecting fields encourages users to think critically about what data they need and why.
    • This can lead to a better understanding of the available data and how to use it effectively.
  4. Adaptability
    • As user needs or provider offerings change, fields can be easily added, removed, or modified without navigating through pre-set configurations.

How to Configure Fields

We've designed the field configuration process to be user-friendly:

  1. Navigate to the field configuration section for each provider.
  2. Browse through the available fields.
  3. Select the fields that are relevant to your work.
  4. Save your configuration.

For guidance on selecting fields or for more information about specific fields offered by different providers, please refer to our documentation or contact our support team.

We believe this flexible approach to field configuration allows each user to tailor EvidenceHub to their specific needs, resulting in a more efficient and effective threat intelligence platform.
