Viewing or Editing Inventory Usage Information from the Analysis Workbench

Code Insight 2021 R4

Inventory usage information is important because it aids users in determining how closely to monitor inventory items for intellectual property (IP) and security risk and in taking appropriate action to approve or reject inventory, create tasks for remediation, and issue alerts and notifications. Usage fields can determine whether the item should be included in Third-Party Notices and what steps need to be taken to satisfy license obligations and conditions of use. They can also help to identify license conflicts and compatibility issues.

To view or edit inventory usage information, do the following:

1.

Open the Analysis Workbench for the desired project. (For instructions, see Opening the Analysis Workbench.)

2.

From the Inventory Details tab for a selected inventory item in the Analysis Workbench, select the Usage tab.

3.

View and, if necessary, edit the usage fields.

For details about the inventory usage fields and how they are used, see Inventory Usage Information.
