# Findings Scope

> Findings Scope limits reported findings for a product by disabling certain finding types not relevant to the product threat model. This helps with noise reduction and fine-tuning of reports and dashboard content.

## Overview

Findings Scope allows you to customize which finding types are visible for each product. Disabled finding types are hidden from:

* Dashboard charts and statistics
* Findings grid counts
* Exports and reports

For a complete reference of finding types and their associated classes, see [Finding Types & Classes](/resource-center/finding-types).

## Configuring Findings Scope

Findings Scope can be configured from the Products page or from an individual Product page.

### From Products Page

1. Navigate to the three-dot menu in the **Actions** column on the chosen Product's row
2. Click **Findings Scope**

The drawer organizes finding types into categories:

* **Cryptographic materials, algorithms and protocols** - Crypto assets, certificates, keys
* **Secrets and credentials** - Embedded credentials
* **Weak binaries and configuration** - Missing mitigations, weaknesses
* **Vulnerable code patterns** - Zero-day vulnerabilities
* **Known vulnerabilities** - CVEs, supply chain issues, dependency vulnerabilities
* **Suspicious code** - Potential tampering or obfuscation
* **Malicious code** - Confirmed malicious behavior and known threats

### Sync Status

After applying changes, wait for the scope to sync:

* **Updating...** - Scope is being applied. Wait and refresh the page.
