The General tab on the Edit Project dialog displays information about the selected project that you can edit. The tab contains the following fields:

Edit Project: General tab

Column/Field

Description

Project Name

The name of the selected project. You can change the name by typing over the current project name.

Description

A freeform text field in which you can enter a description for the project. This field provides enough space to add as much detail about the project as necessary.

Project Visibility

The visibility status—Public or Private—of the project.

For public projects, users who are not the Project Owner nor directly assigned the Reviewer or Analyst role have read-only access to the project inventory. However, private projects are hidden from all users except the Project Owner and those users assigned as Analysts, Reviewers, and Observers of the project.

Project Risk

The current vulnerability risk value (Low, Medium, or High) for the project. To edit, select another value from the dropdown.

Project Status

The current status of the project. The following statuses are available and their suggested definitions are provided here. However, you can apply these statuses as appropriate for your site:

•

Not Started—Indicates that the project scan results are not available for manual analysis. This value automatically defaults when the initial project scan has not been run or when the initial scan fails. However, you can manually change this status.

•

Analysis in Progress—Indicates that the project scan results are available for manual analysis, or a manual analysis is underway. This value is automatically set when the initial project scan is complete. (For a project import, however, the status of the target project is retained.) You can manually change this status.

•

Analysis Completed—Indicates that manual analysis is finished; and the published inventory is ready for legal, security, or software-engineering review. (You must manually set this value.)

•

Project Complete—Indicates that the project analysis and review processes are complete, and notices content for all OSS and third-party software is finalized. (You must manually set this value.)

On the data import or rescan, delete inventory with no associated files

This option determines whether “empty” system-generated inventory items are deleted in the target project during project imports and rescans. Empty inventory items have no associated files.

•

Selected—Deletes empty inventory items from the target project during project imports and rescans. Only inventory items with associated files are retained/created.

•

Unselected—Retains/creates all inventory items—with or without matching associated files in the target codebase—in the target project during imports and rescans. For example, you might want to retain inventory items to save their analysis details. (You will need to manually delete inventory that is not applicable to the current project.)

This configuration (unselected) is required if you are importing a scanned codebase into an inventory-only project, which has no codebase, to ensure inventory is generated in the target project.

Project Folder

The folder in the Projects list under which the project is currently grouped. To edit the project location in the list, select one of the following:

•

Clear Project Folder button—Click this button to remove the project from the current folder in the Projects list and place it in the root folder.

•

Select a New Folder dropdown—Click the down arrow to locate and select an available folder to which to move the project.
