What Does an Analyst do?

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

The role of the Analyst is to transform the evidence uncovered by the scanner into an inventory item. Analysts create inventory items that associate files in your codebase to open source projects. For example, Analysts might evaluate files with a copyright of Mark Adler and a license match to the zlib license. Then the Analysts would place these files in a group for the zlib open-source project and mark those files as reviewed to register progress.

The Analyst will evaluate all of the evidence within a codebase, create inventory items where appropriate, mark the analyzed files as reviewed, and finally publish them. Once published, the inventory will be available for reporting and review.
