# Create a featured field

Create featured fields to highlight important issue attributes in Cortex XSIAM.

To help you to track issues involving specific hosts, users, and IP addresses, you can label specific issue attributes as featured fields. Issues that contain a matching featured field value are identified with a ![featured-alert-field-flag.png](https://2786854933-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAEIjuYE3RXcIfmuQnBbm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2bd8d659933ac3b2db859d096e4d906e39bb74b8%2F51168d952b300ec2376c3ada4e1f381c8747716358f8e62a79557dcb169f0260.png?alt=media) flag in the **Name** field of the **Issues** table. After setting up featured fields, you can use them filter the **Issues** table and to create case scoring rules.

Featured Active Directory values are displayed in the **User** and **Host** fields accordingly.
{% endhint %}

### How to create a featured field in Cortex XSIAM

1. Go to **Cases & Issues → Case Configuration →** **Featured Fields** and select a type of featured field.
2. Click **Add featured \<field-type>** and select one of the following options:
   * **Create New**

     To create a new featured field from scratch, enter one or more field-type values and click **Add**.
   * **Upload from File**

     To upload field values from a CSV file, upload your file and click **Import**. Click **Download example file** to ensure you are using the correct format.
3. Find issues containing featured fields.

   In the **Issues** table, use the **Contains Featured** filters.
4. (Optional) Create a case scoring rule using the **Contains Featured** fields to further highlight and prioritize issues containing the Host, User, and IP address attributes.

# 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-xsiam/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigation-and-response/investigate-issues/issue-investigation-actions/create-a-featured-field.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.
