# Nessus Tracker Quick Usage Wiki
## Purpose
Use this workbook to track remediation state for Nessus findings by matching `Template` entries to `Remediations`.
## Core Workflow
1. Update `Remediations` rows with latest findings/status.
2. Set `First seen` when an item first appears.
3. Set `Excepted until (date)` when status is `exception`.
4. In `Template`, enter `Key` values to build a report view.
5. Fill `Hosts` and `Owner` manually in `Template`.
## Key Formats (Template column A)
- `CVE:CVE-2025-61726`
- `PID:505201`
- Raw values:
- `CVE-2025-61726`
- `505201`
Matching order:
1. CVE match (trimmed text match, whitespace tolerant)
2. Plugin ID match (numeric-first fallback)
## Behavior Notes
- `Key` blank => auto-populated cells stay blank.
- `Key` unmatched => key-driven fields show `NEW ITEM` where applicable.
- Auto-populated fields stay blank when source values are missing.
- `Name` in `Template` links to the matched `Remediations` row.
- `Unresolved for` shows days since `First seen` (when `First seen` is before today).
- `Excepted until (date)` highlights red when past due.
## Allowed Status Values
- `exception`
- `exception - permanent`
- `In progress - next updates`
- `In progress - researching`
- `resolved`
