Resurface
Manage the queue.
Sentry brings records back when conditions change.
A findings table with 1,800 records is not a working queue. Your team needs to mark the expected ones, focus on what actually needs attention, and trust that dismissed records will come back if the underlying data changes. That's what resurface does. Sentry fingerprints each record at dismissal and compares on every scan. When the conditions shift, the record re-enters the active queue automatically.

The fingerprint
What Sentry watches after you dismiss.
The fingerprint is not a hash of the entire record. It captures the specific fields that matter for each finding type. If a “Plans Past End Date” record is dismissed and the balance later drops to zero, the plan was resolved and it stays out of your queue. If the balance grows, conditions changed and the record comes back for review.
Fingerprint fields by finding type
Plans past end date
Deferred balance, days past end, plan status
Element date mismatch
Element start/end, source transaction dates, delta
Orphaned elements
Element existence, linked arrangement ID, allocation
SSP drift
Fair value, SSP range boundaries, variance %
