Findings tab
The Findings tab shows all failing items identified by the test. You can also exclude individual findings from future assessments and results. Depending on the test results, the table displays relevant columns and information.
When are findings shown?
Findings only appear if the test detects items that cause it to fail.
If a test passes, there are no failing items to show, so you won’t see any findings.
If the test errors out and can’t be completed, it won’t show any findings because it couldn’t fully check everything.
The following screenshots shows a findings of a test:
