Modify finding information such as the remediation state, assignee, or due date. Typically remediation states and assignees are set in Track but they can be set in Workbench as well.

You can also change finding definition details, such as the description or remediation instructions, on a per-finding basis. By default, this information is populated from the associated master finding variation. Modifying these fields in a finding only impacts that finding and does not affect the variation.

Tip: Although this task describes accessing a finding from a workspace, you can access findings from other areas in Workbench. For example, if a finding has at least one instance with a state of final, you can access the finding from the Findings tab in a project.
