Yes in the documentation index. See the user guide "VTACE-USG004 ACE - User Guide Volume - I Build 02072014.pdf".
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can find associated elements in the capability by looking for their associated CVE name (required):
In the ACE screen shot shown below a user can associate/find CVE-2005-1794 with a given asset SAP-CRM-DB-Server in their information system boundary.
Give detailed examples and explanations of how, for reports that identify individual security elements, the capability allows the user to determine the associated CVE names for the individual security elements in the report (required):
Using ACE's Custom Vulnerability Reports capability an end user is able to query and report on any security element for all assets in the information system described in Section 3.5.1 Custom Vulnerability Reports of the user guide: "VTACE-USG005 ACE - User Guide Volume - II Build 02072014.pdf".Example Search:
Example report:
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can obtain a listing of all of the CVE names that are associated with the capability’s tasks (recommended):
Using ACE's Custom Vulnerability Reports capability described in Item #28 or #27 will allow a user to see CVE names associated with assets and systems.

Describe the steps that a user would follow to browse, select, and deselect a set of tasks for the capability by using individual CVE names (recommended):
In section 1.3.17.4 Tasks Tab of the user guide "VTACE-USG005 ACE - User Guide Volume - II Build 02072014.pdf" describes how to see and manage vulnerability tasks.
Provide details about the different electronic document formats that you provide and describe how they can be searched for specific CVE-related text (required):
ACE allows output as Excel, Word Document, or PDF.
Using ACE's Custom Vulnerability Reports capability described in Item #28 or #27 will allow a user to search for specific CVE-related text.
If one of the capability’s standard electronic documents only lists security elements by their short names or titles provide example documents that demonstrate how the associated CVE names are listed for each individual security element (required):
See "CustomVulReportResult7-9-2014.pdf".
Give detailed examples and explanations of how the GUI provides a "find" or "search" function for the user to identify your capability’s elements by looking for their associated CVE name(s) (required):
ACE allows the user to search for elements by CVE name/ID:
Briefly describe how the associated CVE names are listed for the individual security elements or discuss how the user can use the mapping between CVE entries and the capability’s elements, also describe the format of the mapping (required):
The end user is able to map a given CVE ID to their associated information assurance security control in the GUI. The format of the mapping is based on NIST 800-53 Security Control ID to CVE ID format.
See section 1.13 CVE IA Mappings of the user guide "VTACE-USG004 ACE - User Guide Volume - I Build 02072014.pdf ".
