# Understand your issues

How to understand your issues in the Snyk Issues UI

Snyk Issues works by understanding your vulnerabilities within the context of your application. You can see all the gathered context in the list view of your issues. In the table view, you can see the following details:

* Issue name, which redirects to the Projects page within that issue's Organization.
* Identified risk factors together with the [evidence graph](/scan-fix-and-prevent/fix/prioritize-issues-for-fixing/using-the-issues-ui/evidence-graph.md).
* Exploit maturity
* Asset and source code where the issue is present, together with an access link.
* The Target and Project where the issue is together with an access link.
* The Organization where the issue is present.
* How the scan was performed to identify the issue.
* Which Snyk product was used to perform the scan.

You can also sort the table of issues by these details.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/fix/prioritize-issues-for-fixing/using-the-issues-ui/understand-your-issues.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
