Problem
On a CIS-CAT Pro Dashboard v3 installation with no Target Systems already present, there is no option to start an Assessment for a new host.
Solution
Create a temporary placeholder Target System as follows:
| 1 | Navigate to “Target Systems” → “List”.  Select the “+ Add Target System” button.  In the dialog window prompting for the Target Primary ID, enter a placeholder name (such as “temp”) and then select the “Add Target System” button. 
| ||
| 2 | Click on the newly created Target System from the list and select the “Assess” button in the top right.  Enter the required connection information. For a detailed description of each field value, please refer to the CIS-CAT Pro Dashboard User Guide:  Select “Start Assessment” to initiate the scan. | ||
| 3 | Once the scan completes (its progress can be checked under “Reports” → “Job Status”), an entry for this system with its actual name will now be present under “Target Systems” → “List” containing the assessment results. You can then either delete the “temp” entry, or leave it in place to launch future assessments for new hosts.  |
