* decide what to do with findings if the right conditions are met: **reject, confirm, no, temporarily accept risk or permamently accept risk .** If **сonfirm** is selected, the validator will automatically create corresponding tasks in Jira. If **reject** is selected, findings will be excluded from future checks. If **No** is selected, entered **tag** or/and **group** will be assigned to findings in accordance with rule;
* automatically add tags to validated findings;
* automatically add group to validated findings;
* set conditions: specify the value you want to find or exclude, choose where to search (in the *title*, *description*, *file path, branch,* *scanner* name, *dependency*, *vulnerable* *url*, *import* *source* (internal or external at your option);
* you can always combine conditions through **junction**, just click on the plus button.

Get a quick overview of the potential impact of your rule with the *affected findings list* in the Auto Validator's **rule creation view**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that changing in the execution frequency may require a **service restart** or the **creation of new rules** to apply to existing data.
{% endhint %}

3\. The validator finishes **before** you even think about making a *coffee*! ☕️
