# Define service classifications for Vulnerability Response reporting and related lists

Bring more focus to reporting and related lists in Vulnerability Response by defining service classifications. In addition, reducing the number of requested service classifications can improve the performance of Vulnerability Response data gathering.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

**Note:**

Editing system properties requires both ServiceNow and Vulnerability Response expertise.

## Procedure

1.  Enter `sys_properties_list.do` in the left navigation bar.

2.  Click **Enter**.

3.  In the **Search** menu, under **Name** enter `sn_vul.service_classifications`.

4.  Open the **sn\_vul.service\_classifications** system property.

5.  In the **Value** text box, enter the comma-separated list of the service classifications you want.

    **Note:** When this setting is empty, all services are listed.

    Examples:

    To see Business Services, Technical Services and Application Services and exclude Service Offerings, Shared Services, and unclassified services, set the value to: **Business Service,Technical Service,Application Service**.

    To see Application Services, set the value to: **Application Service**.

6.  Click **Update**.

    The data in each report and vulnerable item related list is filtered by service classification during the next run of the nightly performance analytics job.
