Review Mapping Scores in the Dashboard Report

Procedure
1. Click Console.
2. Select Dashboards > Compliance > Compliance Badge Rollup.
3. Review the scores and modify the settings as needed.

To ensure that the scores that are pulled into vCenter Operations Manager are always current, schedule
the mappings to run at a regular time. See "Schedule Compliance Badge Mapping Runs" on page 78.
n
(Optional) To change how the mappings are scored, modify the Standards Compliance Settings. Do not
modify the scores unless you understand how the scores are calculated. See "Scoring Badges for
vCenter Operations Manager Standards Compliance" on page 79.
Schedule Compliance Badge Mapping Runs
Schedule the compliance badge mapping runs so that you have consistently current scores that are pulled
into vCenter Operations Manager.
Prerequisites
Schedule the collections for the vCenter Server instances on which you are running templates to complete
the collections before you run the compliance mappings against the collected data. See "Configure vCenter
Server Scheduled Collections" on page 33.
Procedure
1. Click Administration.
2. Select Job Manager > Scheduled and click Add.
3. Select vCenter Operations Manager Compliance Badge Mapping Run and click Next.
4. Type a name and description and click Next.
5. Select one mapping and click Next.
6. Use the scheduling options to schedule when the mapping runs.
Schedule the job to run at the frequency at which you want refreshed results to be available to pull into
vCenter Operations Manager. Schedule the compliance badge mapping to run after your scheduled
collection.
7. Click Finish.
