Inventory Priority

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R3

The priority of an inventory item is meant to highlight the importance of that item during the inventory review process. The following algorithms determine the default priority of an inventory item.

You can manually change the inventory priority by simply selecting a different priority from the Priority dropdown either in Analysis Workbench or on the Project Inventory tab.

For a “Component” Inventory Type

The inventory priority is set to P1 if either of these circumstances exist:

Otherwise, when the user or system selects a component-version-license triad, the inventory priority will be set based on the selected license priority or highest associated security vulnerability severity, unless that would mean lowering an existing priority.

For a “License-Only” Inventory Type

When a user selects a license for a license-only inventory item, the inventory priority is set to the license priority (see What Does an Analyst do?) unless that would mean lowering an existing priority.

Note • Due to the algorithm used to calculate the priority, the inventory priority will never be lowered by the system. It can only be lowered explicitly by the user.
