Link to Viewing Issues copied to clipboard

This topic refers to accessing the Issues for <Test Case Name> screen from various areas of axe Auditor. The Issues for <Test Case Name> screen provides a summarized view of only five fields of information about each issue, with filter and export controls. It does not cover viewing individual issue details on the View Issue screen.
