# Finding Edit & Review Workflow

The supported workflow for reviewing findings added to reports

## Local Findings

Findings added to a report are considered "local" to that report. Editing these findings *have no effect* on the "master" record in the findings library.

### Finding Assignments

When a finding is added to a report the **Assigned Operator** is automatically set to the current user. The assignee is the **Owner** of that finding. If the current user owns the finding they will see a bold red **You** in that column. Findings owned by other users are represented by a grey username.

Findings assigned to a user will appear on that user's dashboard under `/home` when they login.

### Finding Status

Each local finding has a **Status** that defaults to **Needs Editing**. Once the owner has finished editing the finding and attached evidence files they click **Mark as Complete** from the dropdown menu under **Options**. This changes the status to **Ready for Review**, a sign to the assessment lead that the finding is complete and can be reviewed for finalizing the write-up.

If the reviewer believes the finding needs more work, the **Flag for Editing** option will reverse the status.

  This is a preliminary version of the review workflow. Future versions will enable reviewers to leave comments, sign-off on findings, and track changes.
