Automatically Publishing Inventory

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R3

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, additional options are made available to set the minimum inventory confidence level for publishing inventory and to automatically mark files associated with an auto-published inventory as “reviewed”.

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

1. As the Project Owner, navigate to the Summary tab (see Opening the Project Summary Tab).
2. Click Manage Project and select Edit Project from the popup menu. The Edit Project page opens.
3. Select the Scan Settings tab.
4. Enable or disable Automatically publish system-created inventory items. When you enable this option, the associated options, Mark associated file as reviewed and Minimum inventory confidence level, are made available for updating. See Edit Project: Scan Settings Tab for a description these options.
5. When you have set the auto-publish feature, click Save. The Summary tab is opened.
