Yes I did see that, which I also thought was very useful. What I was referring 
to was not the ability to filter the overall results, but the details in each 
check.

So in the linked report, for the check titled “Verify that All World-Writable 
Directories Have Sticky Bits Set”, the “OVAL details” section lists the two 
directories that failed the check (it’s a little mind boggling that a scanner 
would create a finding).  So instead, have the option of listing all 
directories that were checked and identify which ones passed and failed. This 
is what I meant by details.

Judging by the finding in the referenced check, I know that SCC has been 
installed. The details they provide in their report is a good example. The bad 
part of that example is separating the passed vs failed by color (I can’t 
search by color) and the ability not to be able toggle between all of the oval 
details of the check versus just the failed items that caused the check to 
fail. This would also be nice for checks that have passed, just to have the 
ability to be able to see what files or entries were validated against the 
check.

I hope that better clarifies what I was hoping could be achieved. I know all 
these details can be retrieved through the oval results xml file, but it would 
be nice to have the ability to be able to view that information in a much 
better organized and human-readable structure that has been created in the new 
report.

Thanks!

Ah my appologies, I did not see those checks. Very nice. I do have to say, it 
looks very beautifully structured. Great job!

Is it possible there could be a way to filter or toggle between failed items 
versus all items checked? It would be useful for SCAP content testing and for 
reassurance of what was checked.

Absolutely! Check/Uncheck the fields under "Rule Overview" as you see fit:
