Projects Pane and Associated Dashboard

Code Insight 2021 R1

The Projects pane in the Projects view displays the list of projects available in your Code Insight instance. You can configure this list as needed to help you locate projects and open them. You can also create, delete, and rename projects from this pane. When you select a project from this pane, its associated dashboard is displayed. The Projects pane and associated project dashboard contain the following fields:
