URLs and sharing
Filters and selected records are encoded in the URL where a stable deep link is useful. Share a requirement from Investigation, an action from its plan, an exact run or an immutable report rather than asking another reader to reconstruct filters manually.
Do not share URLs containing customer record ids outside the authorised customer context.
