That is why we have reimagined the way users access Qualys applications with the brand-new **Qualys App Picker** , a streamlined, intuitive navigation panel designed to make access faster, easier, and smarter in the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform!\\n\\n# Simplifying Multi-App Security Management\\n\\nWhether you’re managing vulnerabilities through VMDR, ensuring file integrity using FIM, patching systems with Patch Management, or working toward PCI compliance, switching between applications can slow down response time and productivity. The new Qualys App Picker solves this by providing a unified, user-friendly launchpad for every Qualys application and module.\\n\\nThese enhancements are the result of careful analysis, collaboration with our Product Advisory Board, insights from customers, hands-on feedback from global conferences, and continuous research.\\n\\n\\n\\n## **Why Qualys Redesigned Cybersecurity Navigation**\\n\\nAs Qualys has expanded, so has the range and complexity of our cybersecurity solutions. User feedback made it clear: They need a simpler and faster way to move between applications without friction. In response, we have reimagined platform navigation to support multi-functional security teams working at speed across vulnerability management, compliance, asset inventory, and cloud security. Guided by our Product Advisory Board, customer insights, and industry research, this streamlined experience helps you focus on what matters most: protecting your organization.\\n\\n\\n\\n## What\u2019s New in Qualys App Picker\\n\\n * **Aligned with the TruRisk Platform Experience:** The App Picker adopts the same clean, modern UI of the enhanced TruRisk platform, ensuring a consistent and intuitive experience across dashboards, reports, and widgets. \\n * **A Unified, Modern Launchpad:** Access all your subscribed applications, trial options, and modules \u2014 all just one click away in a single streamlined, visually refreshed panel. \\n * **Smart Grouping for Smarter Workflows:** Reduce cognitive load and improve speed with applications organized by function, such as risk management, cloud and container security, application security, Compliance, and more. \\n * **Discover and Enable Modules with a Click** : Quickly view, activate, or trial advanced feature modules for modules directly from the App Picker.\\n * **Personalized, Fast Access:** Instantly jump to your most-used applications with the new \\”Frequently Visited\\” bar. \\n * **Subscriptions and Trials Visibility:** See what is active, on trial, or available for trial, and activate new applications directly.\\n * **At-a-Glance Visual Badges:** Never lose track of application status (Active, Trial, Expiring) with clear visual indicators.\\n * **Control with Sub-User Application Hiding:** Allow sub-users to access only the applications relevant to them, keeping interfaces clean and aligned to user roles.\\n\\n\\n\\n### **Key Features**\\n\\n * **Visually aligned with UI 4.0** : The new Qualys App Picker aligns visually and functionally with the enhanced UI launched in October 2024.

For multitasking security professionals, it remembers your preferences across sessions so the tools you need are always right where you expect them.\\n\\n\\n\\n * **Subscription Status and Trial Provisioning**\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom a single, holistic view, you can see all active subscriptions, ongoing trials, and new features at a glance. You no longer have to navigate away to check which applications are active, in trial, or waiting to be activated. Everything is right where you need it.\\n\\n * Get an upfront view of your current subscription status\\n * Instantly see which features are available in your license\\n * See when Qualys Application or Trial expires\\n * Provision trial accounts or request full access with one click\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nApp Picker divides the applications into two different sections to clearly identify which ones are part of your subscription and which ones are available for trial.\\n\\n**Your Subscriptions:** All active applications, including active trials.\\n\\n**Available Trials:** All inactive or pending applications with a trial option. Trials may be _provisioned_ or _non-provisioned_ :\\n\\n * **Provisioned trials** start automatically and take you directly to the product home page.\\n * **Non-provisioned trials** redirect you to the application\u2019s home page, where you must sign in to request the trial.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nIt also displays expiration messages for applications and trial accounts. When a trial has 15 days or fewer remaining, the status appears in red. Otherwise, it appears in orange.\\n\\n\\n\\n * **Visual Badges for Application Status**\\n\\n\\n\\nTo quickly understand the status of each application, whether you are actively using it, running a trial, or need to renew a license, we have added a status badge directly to each title in the App Picker. This eliminates guesswork and makes the next steps easy when you need to renew or buy a new license.\\n\\n\\n\\n * **Application Hiding for Sub-users**\\n\\n\\n\\nMany customers manage multiple teams, regions, or business units within the same Qualys subscription. To simplify the user experience and maintain proper access boundaries, Application Hiding controls which applications or modules are visible to individual sub-users. This prevents confusion, reduces clutter, and enforces least-privilege access across roles.\\n\\nAdmins can create custom roles with specific application access, or remove existing roles, and assign them to sub-users through the **Administration** application.\\n\\nIf a user doesn\u2019t have access to an application, they simply won\u2019t see it in their interface, creating a cleaner and more focused experience.\\n\\n### **Qualys App Picker for Every Persona**\\n\\n**Role**| **Benefit** \\n—|— \\n**Security Analyst**| Switch instantly among VMDR, FIM, and Patch Management during incident response \\n**Compliance Officer**| Gain centralized access to PCI-DSS, Policy Audit, and related compliance applications \\n**Admin\/Procurement**| See which applications are active or in trial for easier renewal decisions \\n \\n## Conclusion: **Get Started**.
