Per-asset scan coverage, the finding by scan cross-tab, wave accounting, and the dismiss-all banner, all without leaving PMAP.
This guide explains how to read scan coverage and the wave matrix for a single asset in PMAP. You will see which scanner integrations actually produce findings for an asset, interpret the wave matrix as a finding by scan cross-tab whose cells report open, closed, reopened, or absent per wave, and follow how reopen and seen-in-scans counts accumulate as the same finding recurs.
It is written for analysts and coverage owners who need to trust what a scan actually saw. By the end you can find blind spots in the Coverage tab, read every wave cell with confidence, bridge a single scan import to the matrix column it produced, and use the asset dismiss-all banner correctly to clear an auto-created tag across many assets in one governed call.
Inside this guide
- See how coverage and waves are assembled before you start reading them.
- Read the Coverage tab to find scanners that produce nothing for an asset.
- Open the wave matrix and orient to its axes, then interpret a single open, closed, reopened, or absent cell.
- Follow reopen and seen-in-scans accounting as the same finding recurs across waves.
- Bridge one scan import to its matrix column using the per-scan findings delta.
- Read the enrichment timeline for field provenance where you have admin access.
- Use the dismiss-all banner to clear an auto tag across many assets at once.
Before you start
- A PMAP account with asset read permission in the company scope you will work in, since some tabs are gated further.
- At least one scanner integration that has imported findings, so the Coverage and Waves tabs hold real data.
- Familiarity with the finding lifecycle states, open, closed, and reopened, so the wave cells read clearly.
- Awareness that the Timeline tab is admin-only, so non-admin readers will not see the provenance feed.
- For dismiss-all, confirmation that the tag you are clearing is an auto-created banner tag, not a curated one.
