   UI action	Description
   Add a tag	To the right of the header, click the small tag icon. You might want to add text that further helps you identify this record. For example, you might want to add a tag that this record has PCI or other critical data.
   Add a work note to the record	In the far right of the screen, click the Activity icon (lightening icon) and enter a work note. Click the icon to toggle the panel.
   Update the record	On the Details tab, for all fields that are editable, click a field to select it, make your changes, and click Save to update the record.
   When displayed, click the filter icon to refine the data on the displayed page	With the Remediation Tasks or Vulnerable Items tabs selected, On the far right, click the filter icon to show the filters that apply to the tab. In the panel that is displayed, click Advanced view to add or change filter conditions for the items on the page. Click Update to save your changes.

Records that match the conditions that you set are displayed in the list.

   Filter out items or match items from a row in a column	Say, for example, you want to view only records that have a specific vulnerability. From the list of records, select the row of the record in the Summary column. Click the vertical dot menu that is displayed and choose one: Show matching - show all the other records that have this vulnerability. Filter out - show all records that don’t have this vulnerability.
   Activate/deactivate a record	If you mark a remediation effort inactive (Active check box not selected) prior to fixing all its records, any remaining, active records on the record will be moved to a new remediation effort when you create one for this watch topic.
