Seeing the Open POAM Items for What You Are Viewing
While you work on a checklist, a device, patch findings, other technology findings, or compliance statements, OpenRMF® Professional checks your live POAM for open items tied to what is on your screen. When there are any, an orange “Open POAM” tab shows on the right edge of the page with the number of open items. Nothing shows when there are no open POAM items for that page.
An open POAM item is any item that is not Completed or Accepted.
Viewing the Related POAM Items
Click the “Open POAM” tab to slide out the Open POAM Items panel. It lists the open items 10 at a time, lowest POAM number first, with each item’s status and description. Click an item to open that POAM record in a new tab, or click “Open the POAM listing” at the bottom to go to the full POAM listing. Close the panel with the × in its top right corner or the Escape key.
When there are more than 10 open items, use the previous and next arrows at the bottom of the panel to page through them. The bottom of the panel shows which items you are viewing, for example “Showing 11–20 of 42”.
Team subpackage pages show the same tab, counting only the team’s own items. See the team subpackage Related POAM Items.
