# Report Components

Individual reports can be accessed from either the Clients or Reports module. Once a report is selected, users can manage and update it using several tabs: **Readout**, **Details**, **Narrative**, **Findings**, **Assets**, **Procedures,** **Artifacts**, and **Attack Path**.&#x20;

## Readout Tab

The **Readout** tab provides access to the Report Narrative, Report Readout column, Findings Overview summary box, and Findings Status box. The Report Readout column has a convenient scrolling feature, making it simple for users to move through the list of findings.

Report narratives can be edited by clicking **Edit/Comment** or on the **Narrative** tab.

## Findings Tab

The **Findings** tab lists all findings associated with a report. It allows users to view a finding and manage and configure it further.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FdGUU3rQExUJzz6rSf4DA%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d2526acf-a254-4257-8c96-5e93f532edaa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Clicking a finding row launches the findings details side drawer, which provides a snapshot view of the finding and all associated content, assets, and tags.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FD3X7AFN7Jt24ZeJxZ2GU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ffd09da4-d532-4f91-9ce4-0baae778e5c9" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Bulk Actions

Bulk action options appear after one or more findings are selected by clicking the checkbox to the far left of the finding row or by clicking the box next to the column header.&#x20;

Click **Actions** to see a list of options, such as adding a tag or linking to a priority.

### Configuring Table View

The table view can be customized by clicking the column view icon to the right of the search bar.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FSU0Zip4p36dkV7esxTOp%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5d8f13f7-8486-4a1d-be7c-8f433b318f6e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Once clicked, a modal appears that lists all fields. To remove a column, click **X** within the bar.

{% hint style="info" %}
Fields that are required do not have an **X** available.
{% endhint %}

When fields are removed, an "Add Column" pulldown menu is added 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. &#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FonfmkRlBz6BjpHOJWi1p%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e11e6e10-d02d-4a36-870e-3baba2fc2d50" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This modal represents the sequence of fields provided in the table, meaning the bar on top will be the column on the table's far left.&#x20;

The order of the columns can be adjusted in this modal by clicking the six dots on the left side of a field's bar and dragging it to the preferred sequence position.

Click **Save** when finished.

## Assets Tab

The **Assets** tab displays all assets in the report that are linked via a finding. Assets are not added to a report directly; they only exist within a report when they are part of a finding that has been added to the report.

Visit [Adding Assets](https://docs.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/clients/adding-assets-to-a-client) for more information.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FRAgwIR3YolejdTHdvc3S%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=35ee6844-3d2f-4246-ac69-f395a5623f10" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Click **Actions** to see the options available, such as adding a tag to an asset or linking to a priority.

### Configuring Table View

The table view can be customized by clicking the column view icon to the right of the search bar.

## Procedures Tab

This tab streamlines the creation and management of procedures within reports, offering greater flexibility and efficiency. Users can view and create procedures on the fly directly from a report and add existing procedures from any repository, including their runbooks database.&#x20;

A side drawer feature also enables quick procedure review, enhancing workflow efficiency.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2Fd7GAU3sdgldAepR8pLyC%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7c89c8d7-2edd-40d1-ae62-043391dcadc4" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The **Tactics coverage** tab allows users to review tactics coverage, providing a more holistic view of security posture.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FZZt08tQcd6g8H9ALMGJK%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3168e16a-83a9-4faa-98ec-27f1708c54b4" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Configuring Table View

## Artifacts Tab

The **Artifacts** tab provides a dedicated space to load and associate additional information with a report. This functionality allows for the inclusion of various artifacts, such as registry keys, files, time stamps, and event logs, which can provide context and support the findings and conclusions presented in the report.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2FMVa72lGJJoJ3Fb0NgRJL%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a2f1f7d2-22ee-4bb7-b8b5-2108d7343135" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

## Attack Path Tab

The **Attack Path** tab visually represents the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed in a simulated attack, as discussed in the report. This tab offers a flexible and interactive interface that allows users to manipulate and sequence the attack path as desired.

This visual representation helps stakeholders understand the attack methodology and visualize how an attacker could exploit system vulnerabilities.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2F2W3IXH99qH68f1No69DL%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d119b81a-68cd-49fd-934a-e19f1de1fbf8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
