As you add more sites to Burp Suite DAST, you may find it useful to organize those sites into folders. For example, you could group your sites based on their physical location.

Each folder has its own dashboard, enabling you to view aggregated charts and statistics for all the sites in the folder. You can also use folders to restrict access to sites, to make sure that users can only access data for sites that are relevant to them.

You can manage your folders and subfolders using the site tree, located on the Sites page.

You can also add tags to your sites or folders. This enables you to organize sites any way you want. For example, you could create tags for the following:

• Geographic locations or time zones
• Specific teams
• Different levels of criticality

For more information, see Adding tags to sites.

Creating folders and subfolders

To create a new folder:

1. On the top menu, select Sites to display the site tree.

2. Click New folder. The New Folder dialog opens.

3. Enter a Folder Name. Make sure there are no other folders in the parent folder with the same name.

4. Optionally, you can add a Description to your folder.

5. If you want to add the folder to an existing folder, select a parent from the site tree under Add to existing folder.

6. Click Add to add your new folder.

Adding individual sites to a folder

You can select a folder when you initially add a site using the Site folder field on the Create a new site page.
