Filter Countermeasures
The project filter can be used to search for Countermeasures matching certain criteria. It is also useful to help prioritize which Countermeasures to focus on:

"Find all Countermeasures that failed verification"
-
"Show me which Countermeasures that should be assigned to manual testers"
Steps:

Click on the filter icon in the top right of the page.
-
Use one or more of the options to filter the Countermeasures. Filtering Countermeasures by status, priority, assigned user, category, verification, tags, source, and regulation is supported.
Search Countermeasures
The search field can be used to search for Countermeasures matching keywords.
Steps:
-
Click on the search icon in the top right of the page.
