Searching Published Inventory

Code Insight 2021 R1

Code Insight provides the Advanced Search dialog to enable you to quickly filter the list of published inventory items to those of interest based on many available criteria—inventory attributes, selected license attributes, and associated security vulnerabilities, tasks, and security alerts. In this way, you can easily focus on only those inventory items in which you are interested within the list of published items. The following procedure shows you how to access and use this dialog. Refer also to the Performing Advanced Searches chapter for practical applications of this search feature.

To filter published inventory, do the following:

1.

Open the Project Inventory tab for the desired project (see Displaying Project Inventory). The Inventory Items pane appears, showing the list of inventory items.

2.

Click the Advanced Search button at the top of the list to open the Advanced Inventory Search dialog.

From this dialog, select search criteria as needed from the following categories. For a detailed description of the search criteria, see Advanced Inventory Search Dialog.

•

Inventory Items—Search for inventory items that have a certain name (or string), priority, review status, or age or that have open vulnerability alerts and work items. (For details on alerts and work items, see Managing Security Vulnerability Alerts and Creating and Viewing External Work Items for a Project Inventory Task.)
