# Incident Starring

Create an incident starring configuration that categorizes and stars incidents when alerts contain attributes that you decide are important.

To help you focus on the incidents that matter most, you can star an incident. Cortex Xpanse identifies starred incidents with a star icon. You can then sort or filter the **Incidents** table on starred incidents. You can also choose whether to display all incidents or only starred incidents on the **Incident Management Dashboard**.

**Star a Specific Incident**

To manually star an incident during or after investigation:

1. Select Incident Response → **Incidents**.
2. From the Incident List, locate the incident you want to star.
3. Select the star icon, or right click on the incident and select **Star Incident**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/incidents-and-alerts/incidents/incident-starring.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
