Applying a Scan Profile

Code Insight 2021 R1

The scan profile is used to abstract and reuse scan settings across projects. The scan profile currently selected for a project shows in the Scan Settings section on the Summary tab. The scan settings specified in the current scan profile are applied for each project scan. However, if you want to apply a different scan profile to the project, follow these steps.

Note:Currently, remote scans do not support scan profiles.

To select a new scan profile, do the following:

1.

Navigate to the Projects view. (See Opening the Projects View if additional instructions are needed.)

2.

From the list of projects, select the project for which you want to apply a scan profile.

(Optional) Click the My Projects toggle at the top of the list to show only those projects with which you are associated as Project Contact or through a project role. (For details, see Showing Only Your Projects.) You can also search projects by name, inventory, or security vulnerability as described in Searching Across All Projects the System.

3.

Do one of the following to open the project:

•

Click the project name (in the example, New Project) in the title bar of the right panel.

•

Click the Open Project icon ().

4.

Click the Summary button at the top of the window to open the Summary tab for the project.

5.

Click Manage Project, and select Edit Project from the popup menu.

6.

From the Edit Project dialog, navigate to the Scan Settings tab, and select the desired scan profile for your project. (Click the information icon next to a selected scan profile to open a read-only view of its attributes.)
