Note About External Work Items

Code Insight 2021 R1

If the project is configured to connect to an external ALM (application lifecycle management) system such as Jira, each task can also have one or more associated work items that correspond to issues in the external ALM system. Work items are useful for tracking work that needs to be performed outside of Code Insight. A work item can be created manually using the Create Work Item option or automatically based on the current project settings (as described in Updating Inventory Review and Remediation Settings for a Project). You can create work items only if the project is associated to an ALM instance, which, in turn, defines a set of attributes used to connect to the ALM system and to set up and assign issues. The Project Administrator configures one or more global ALM instances; but, once the project is associated with one of these instances, you can customize the instance to address the needs of the project.

See for ALM Settings details about associating a project with an ALM instance. For more information about managing external work items, see Creating and Viewing External Work Items for a Project Inventory Task.

Currently, Code Insight supports the creation of issues on a Jira server only.
