Warning:

If your site does not use Communicator, you may be able to mark a report finding as urgent by using a coded phrase. See your system administrator.

  • To edit your own unverified report, make changes then say Finish report or Verify report.
  • To edit your own verified report, you must add an addendum. You can only verify your own addendums.
