Automatically Publishing Inventory

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

FlexNet Code Insight provides the ability to automatically publish inventory without the need for an analyst to be involved. This feature supports a fully automated end-to-end process where there is no human analyst involvement. (For example, the auto-publish feature works in conjunction with workflow policies that automatically review inventory items as they are published, as described in Managing Policy Profiles.) If there is a human analyst involved, the auto-publish feature can be turned off, allowing the analyst to publish the inventory manually after analysis.

When the auto-publish feature is enabled, you have the option to automatically mark the files associated with an auto-published inventory item as “reviewed”.

To set the auto-publish feature, do the following:

1. Open the Summary tab.
2. Open the Manage Project popup menu and select Edit Project
3. Select the Scan Settings tab. If this is the first time you have edited this project, the Automatically publish system-created inventory items and Mark associated file as reviewed options are already selected. See Edit Project: Scan Settings Tab in the “Pages and Panels” chapter for a description these options.
4. To disable the auto-publish feature, deselect the Automatically publish system-created inventory items checkbox. The Mark associated file as reviewed option will become grayed out. If you enable the Automatically publish system-created inventory items again, you must manually select the Mark associated file as reviewed checkbox if you want associated files to be automatically marked as “reviewed”.
5. When you have set the auto-publish feature, click Save. The Summary tab is opened.

Note • During the scan, inventory item priorities for auto-published inventory are automatically assigned based on the associated license.
