Editing Inventory from the Analysis Workbench

Code Insight 2021 R1

Use the following steps to edit an inventory item from the Analysis Workbench as needed.

To edit an inventory item in the Analysis Workbench, do the following:

1. Open the Analysis Workbench for the desired project. (For instructions, see Opening the Analysis Workbench.)
2. Navigate to the Inventory Items list in the right pane.
3. Select the inventory item that you want to edit.

A new tab, labeled with the inventory name and showing information about the inventory item, is opened within the Inventory Details tab.

4. Make changes to the fields as needed. Refer to Creating Inventory from the Inventory Items List for field descriptions and additional steps required when updating the inventory type.

Note the following:

• For a Component inventory item, you can use the Component Lookup feature to select a different registered instance (or create a new one) or to create a custom component and instance to associate with the inventory item. The Name, Component, and License fields are updated accordingly. See Creating Inventory from the Inventory Items List for complete information.
• You can convert a Work In Progress or License Only inventory item to a different inventory type, using the Type field and performing the additional steps required for the type. The Name and other appropriate fields are updated accordingly.
• If you need to update the component version or associated license only, simply click the Edit () icon next to the Component or License value, and select a different license or version or both. (This avoids performing a Component Lookup process to edit these elements.)
• If the inventory item is derived from another project (for example, it was imported to the current project from another project), the Provenance field can provide a link to the original inventory item in the source project, enabling you to explore the history of the item. For details, see Inventory Details Tab in the Analysis Workbench.

Note:You cannot update this property from the Code Insight Web UI in general, but you can edit it when creating or updating inventory using the Inventory REST API.

• Update any of the other fields as necessary.
• Add associated files to the inventory item. See Adding Files to Inventory From the Codebase List.
5. Click Save to change the changes to the inventory item.
