About Findings Page

Findings are associated with controls that are non-compliant in an assessment. The Findings page is a grid comprising of findings that are created for controls or questionnaire in the Questionnaire window as well as those created in the grid using the New button. In the Findings page, you can create a finding for an entity. You can work on findings only if you are a stakeholder or findings administrator. To respond to a finding, you must use response, exception or ticket that are available in the Findings details page. In order to work on exception and ticket, you need the set of permissions required by those objects; since the permissions related to a finding will allow only to modify the general, risk assessment, response, and attachments.

The following are the actions/option Findings in the grid helps you manage a finding:
