Or you might want to track a particular issue throughout your remediation process; enter the Issue ID in the Search tab to locate it within the relevant report.

      All issues are classified as open by default. You can see an issue classification by grouping by Issue Status.
    - Exporting data for offline analysis
      Exporting report data is useful if you have team members that do not directly access the Enterprise Console; you can export the report data to an XML file, Excel spreadsheet, pdf or CSV file for them to use.
    - Correlating static analysis data with dynamic analysis data
      Import data from AppScan® Source to correlate its findings with an existing dynamic analysis security scan (AppScan Enterprise Server content scan job or an AppScan Standard import job).
