Issue Information tab
The first tab of the Detail pane summarizes the information available.
During scanning, as issues are discovered and added to the tree, the Issue Information tab provides a summary of the information available on the other Detail pane tabs, as well as valuable additional information such as CVSS Metric scoring for the issue, and relevant screen captures, that can be saved with the results and included in your reports.

Issue Information toolbar
The toolbar above the Detail pane shows the current severity of the selected issue, and its state, and lets you toggle between issues.
- Severity: Select one of the four standard severity settings, or manually adjust the CVSS settings for this issue.
- State: Options are "Open" or "Noise". Default is Open. Select Noise for issues that are unimportant to you. By default, results designated as Noise appear in the Result List with a line through them. To remove them from the display altogether, deselect Tools > Show Issues Marked as Noise.
