# Managing Findings
The **Findings** module provides a streamlined approach to managing findings, providing enhanced visibility, automation, and granularity for vulnerability management.
## **Interacting with Metrics**
The metrics default to all clients that the user can access. Filtering by clients and date narrows the data set.
{% hint style="warning" %}
These fields do not impact the findings shown in the findings table.
{% endhint %}
Hovering the cursor over a specific date will generate a pop-up with detailed information related to that date.
Clicking on severity values hides them from the chart.
Clicking the severity bar graph in the "open findings" window will result in all `Open` or `In Process` findings with that severity being displayed in the table below.
## Using Filters
When filters have been set, the option to "Reset filters" is next to the findings count in the table header.
The number of filters used in a specific column is identified with a purple number next to the column header.
## Viewing a Finding Instance
Click a finding row to view its instances (one or more, CVE and CWE scores (when applicable), seen history, metadata, and other options to edit the instance.
## Viewing the Finding Activity Log
To view the activity log for a finding, click the **Activity** button in the top-right corner of the page.
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is available to Admin users only.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
The activity log displays events recorded on or after the 2.17 release (May 21, 2025). Activity prior to this date is not included.
{% endhint %}
## Deleting a Finding
Click Delete under the "Actions" menu to delete a finding from this table.
## Configuring Table View
The table view can be customized by clicking the column view icon to the right of the search bar. Once clicked, a modal appears that lists all fields.
To remove a column, click the X within the bar. Fields that are required and cannot be eliminated do not have an X available.
When fields are removed, an "Add column" pulldown menu appears at the bottom left of the modal to store the field. Any removed fields can be added later by clicking **Add column** and selecting the field to add.
This modal represents the sequence of fields shown in the table, meaning the bar at the top corresponds to the column on the far left of the relevant box. The order of columns can be adjusted within this modal by clicking the six dots on the left of the bar for a field and dragging the bar to the desired position in the sequence.
Click **Save** when finished.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/findings/managing-findings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
