# Managing Unknown Findings in Your Radar

## This article explains what unknown findings are, where to find them and how to move them to the inventory.

When using automatic Discovery in MineOS, you may encounter findings that we cannot automatically match to our directory. These are labeled as Unknown Findings and require manual mapping to ensure your inventory remains accurate and complete.

#### What Are Unknown Findings?

Some **Discovery integrations**, like **Azure AD** and **Okta SSO**, may detect services with names like `intercom_integration_1` or `custom_integration_2` that we cannot confidently match to any existing item in your catalog.

This can happen because:

- The service is not a known type in our catalog.
- The name or metadata provided by the SSO does not give enough detail.

 [Learn more about Discovery integrations →](https://docs.mineos.ai/knowledge/mines-radar)

#### Where to Find Them

All unclassified discovery results will appear under the **Radar** tab in a special section called **Unknown Findings**.

#### Options for Merging into the Inventory

When you're ready to classify an unknown finding, click **Move to Inventory** and choose how you’d like to handle it. By opening the merge window and typing a desired name for this data source a few options will appear.

### 1. Create a New Catalog Item

If the finding represents a brand-new data source, select this option to add it to your inventory as a new item. See below image "MineOS directory - intercom"

![](https://docs.mineos.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-07-2025-07-46-02-9411-AM.png?width=688&height=521&name=image-png-May-07-2025-07-46-02-9411-AM.png)

### 2. Merge with an Existing Catalog Item

Choose this option if the finding relates to a data source already in your inventory. In this case, the finding will be merged with the existing item. 

The existing item can either be in:

- In your inventory as a data source
- A finding still sitting in **Radar**
- An item previously moved to **Unused Assets**

In this case, the finding will be merged with the existing item.

📦 **What Happens During a Merge**:

- The catalog item will now have **multiple findings** associated with it.
- **Employees** found across these findings will be **aggregated and unified**.
- You can view all findings in the **Findings box** in the catalog item.

#### Handling Duplicate or Similar Findings

If you choose a **catalog item** that already exists in **Radar** or **Unused Assets**, we’ll **automatically merge** those entries into your inventory as part of the process—no extra steps required.

### Open as a Custom Data Source

If the finding doesn’t match anything known, and you want to provide your own name, use this option to open it as a **custom data source**.

Click on Create "typed name" to create as custom system in your inventory.

![](https://docs.mineos.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-07-2025-07-48-37-2659-AM.png?width=688&height=464&name=image-png-May-07-2025-07-48-37-2659-AM.png)

#### Restoring from Unused Assets

Changed your mind later? You can restore unknown findings from **Unused Assets** back into your workflow.

➡️ When restoring, the same mapping process will apply: you'll be prompted to link the finding to a data source, whether new, existing, or custom.

#### Getting Help from a Teammate

If you're not sure what a finding is, don’t hesitate to **ask a teammate** for help.

➡️ [See how to request input from your team →](https://docs.mineos.ai/knowledge/teammates-inventory-tasks)

#### Important Notes and Limitations

- **Once merged, findings cannot be unmerged.** Please double-check your selection before finalizing the mapping.
- Merged findings will continue to aggregate new discovery data if more is found later.
