Tip: Tenable Vulnerability Management runs Findings searches in the background so that you can navigate away from the Findings page and return when a complex search is complete. You can also Cancel a search. Finally, Tenable Vulnerability Management caches your most recent search for 30 minutes, notes the date and time in the top toolbar, and saves the state of the Findings page for your next visit.
