Export and share findings
After an audit, the Flow Auditor’s findings grid has an Export menu with five formats and a Copy button for single findings. Pick the format that matches the consumer: machines, spreadsheets, tickets, or people reading in a browser.
Export findings to a file
- Run an audit; see Running an audit.
- Above the findings grid, click Export and pick a format: JSON (.json), CSV (.csv), Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), or Excel (.xls).
- In the Save-As dialog, choose a folder. The file is pre-named
PowerToolBox-Findings-yyyyMMdd-HHmmwith the right extension; keep or change the name and save.
The export always contains every finding from the current scan, not only the rows left visible by filters. Each export is recorded in the audit log with its format and destination.
Pick a format
| Format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JSON | Machines and other systems | Full detail per finding: finding and rule IDs, severity, category, flow, environment, description, remediation, confidence, and detection time in ISO 8601. |
| CSV | Spreadsheet triage | One quoted row per finding; opens in Excel or any CSV reader. |
| Excel (.xls) | People who work in Excel | A SpreadsheetML file that Excel opens directly, with one Findings worksheet. |
| Markdown | Tickets, wikis, pull requests | A summary table plus a detailed section per finding. |
| HTML | Sharing with people | A standalone styled page with severity badges; no tools needed to read it. |
Copy a single finding
- Select a row in the findings grid.
- Click Copy.
The clipboard now holds plain text with the finding’s title, severity, rule ID, description, and remediation, ready to paste into a ticket, email, or chat message.
