Advanced Inventory Search Dialog

The Advanced Inventory Search dialog is opened when you click the Advanced Search button at one of the following locations:

• Inventory Items pane on the Project Inventory tab
• Inventory Items pane in the Analysis Workbench
• Inventory view

Considerations When Using Advanced Inventory Searches in the Analysis Workbench

Note the following when using the Advanced Inventory Search feature in the Analysis Workbench.

• If the Inventory Items list is filtered by published or not-published items (before or after using an Advanced Inventory search), the resulting inventory list is based on the published/not-published filter AND the Advanced Inventory Search criteria.
• Search results from Advanced Inventory Search criteria and the results of inventory searches based on associated codebase files are mutually exclusive and will overwrite each other in the Inventory Items pane. (For more information about inventory searches based on an inventory’s associated codebase files, see Showing Inventory Associated to Files Selected in the Codebase List.)

Field Descriptions

The Advanced Search dialog provides the following options that enable you to search project inventory in a variety of ways.

Advanced Inventory Search Dialog

 

Column/Field

Description

Inventory Items

The following options enable you to filter inventory by inventory attributes.

Inventory Name

Enter the whole or partial inventory name by which to filter the inventory display. For example, if you enter apache in this field, Code Insight will find all inventory items that contain the apache string in their names.

The name filter you enter here is automatically copied to the name filter field in the Inventory Items pane on the Project Inventory tab or in the Analysis Workbench. Likewise, if you have entered a name filter on the Inventory Items pane, it is automatically copied to this field on the Advanced Inventory Search dialog. This behavior enables you to keep the name filter persistent. You can always change or remove this filter as necessary at these locations.

Inventory Priority

Select one or more of checkboxes (P1, P2, P3, or P4) to search the inventory by inventory priority.

For more information about inventory priority, see Inventory Priority.

Inventory Review Status

Select one or more of the following checkboxes to filter the inventory display based on the review status of inventory items:

• Approved—Show only inventory that has been reviewed and approved, either manually by a reviewer or automatically during the auto-publish process.
• Rejected—Show only inventory that has been reviewed and rejected, either manually by a reviewer or automatically during the auto-publish process.
• Not Reviewed—Show only inventory that has not yet been reviewed.

For more information about the review status, see Review Status of Inventory.

 

Dependency Options

• All Inventory Items—Show all inventory—that is, all top-level inventory items, along with their first-level and transitive dependencies.
• Only Top-Level Inventory Items—Show all top-level inventory items only. No first-level or transitive dependencies are displayed.
• Only Dependency Inventory Items—Show only first-level and transitive dependencies. No top-level inventory is displayed.

Inventory Age

Select one of the following to filter the inventory display by the time frame in which the inventory items were published:

• Last 1 day—Show inventory published in the last day. For example, if today is Feb 6th, search from Feb 5th 12 AM.
• Last 7 days—Show inventory published in the last week. For example, if today is Feb 6th, search from Jan 30th 12 AM.

Inventory Confidence Level

Select one or more Confidence levels—High, Medium, or Low—by which to filter system-generated inventory items in the inventory display.

The Confidence level is the measure of the strength of the discovery technique used by Code Insight to generate an inventory item. For a description of the Confidence levels and how they are used, see Inventory Confidence.

Inventory Custom Fields

The section is displayed only if one or more custom inventory fields have been defined for your site. If such fields have been defined, each field is listed, enabling you to set up a criterion for a given field that filters inventory by the field’s value.

For each field whose value you want to use as a criterion for filtering inventory, do the following:

1. Under the field name, select the operation (Contains or Equals) in the field on the left.
2. In the Search Text field on the right, enter the partial or full field value by which to search inventory.

If you have set up multiple custom fields as criteria, the And or Or operator selected for all criteria in the dialog is applicable across the custom-field criteria.

• To appear in search results when Or is selected, an inventory item must contain at least one of the custom-field criteria you defined.
• To be a candidate in the search results when And is selected, an inventory item must meet all the custom-field criteria you defined.

Security Vulnerabilities

The following options enable you to filter inventory by the attributes of the security vulnerabilities associated with inventory items.

If you accessed this dialog from the Inventory View, setting any of the following security-vulnerability criteria might increase the inventory search time significantly.

Note:When you search by the ID or severity of a suppressed vulnerability, the results do not include inventory items associated with component versions for which the vulnerability was suppressed.

Security Vulnerability ID

Enter the complete valid ID for the security vulnerability by which to filter the inventory display to show only those inventory items associated with the specified vulnerability.

 

Security Vulnerability Severity

Select one or more vulnerability severity levels by which to filter the inventory display to show only those inventory items associated with at least one vulnerability that has one of the selected severities.

The severity-level options differ depending on the CVSS version used by Code Insight.

If CVSS v3.x (3.0 and 3.1) is used, the following severity options are available:
