The Issues tab displays all known vulnerability and license discrepancies across your projects, indicating details about each issue and which of your projects is affected. In addition, this area also displays information about which issues can be fixed, and how.
By default, issues are grouped together per issue, similar to the following example:
Get an overview of the general health of your organization on the whole by inspecting the number of projects affected per issue and the number and kinds of issues affecting your projects.
Alternatively, you can ungroup data, viewing a separate line for each project in which the issue occurs—meaning the same issue can appear multiple times if it affects multiple projects. Click the View issues ungrouped or View issues grouped link to toggle between views.
This view is beneficial in providing additional details about:
Each affected project
The recommended course of remediation
This view can be seen in the Elements column below, where all the elements of both views are described
Note
Data in each of the four tabs is displayed based on the filters you've applied from the top of the Reports area, as well as the group or organization that you're viewing from.
Just under the Export button, click the View issues ungrouped or View issues grouped link to toggle between views.

Search issues—this search capability allows users to search based on CVE, CWE or identifier name (i.e. DDoS). When searching by CVE or CWE, you must provide an exact value (for example CVE-1234) whereas, for identifier name, typing in a piece of the word will return results.
Issue filters—mark the issues to be displayed by selecting specific issue types, exploit maturity, status and fixable values.
Export—click the button to choose which format you’d like to export issue data in:
CSV
Print/generate a preview from the Print dialog box in your local environment. Once you click the initial Print button, in the backend we load all the issues into one page. This process can take a few seconds. Make sure you don’t close your tab/browser or refresh the page while we prepare the document. Once ready, you get a new dialog box informing you that the document is ready to print. Within the print dialog, you select to save as PDF or print directly.
Note
Only 2000 issues can be generated at once. The number of issues you’re currently viewing is displayed on the Issues tab, as described in the Elements table.
View issues ungrouped/View issues grouped—toggle between views. When viewing “grouped”, each issue appears once only, grouping together all affected projects; when viewing “ungrouped”, each issue appears once per project that is affected by it.
