Approving or Rejecting Inventory Items

The next step in the Code Insight workflow is to have security and legal experts review all published inventory and categorize them as approved or rejected for use in the software project. To approve or reject an inventory item, perform the following steps.

To approve or reject inventory items, do the following:

1.

Open the Project Inventory tab for the desired project (see Displaying Project Inventory).

2.

In the row for the inventory item you want to approve or reject, click the green checkmark to approve the item or the red X to reject the item.

A circle appears around the status icon to indicate it has been selected. A circle around the question mark indicates that no status selection has been made (that is, the inventory item requires further review to determine its status).

Note that, depending on the inventory review and remediation options defined for the project, selecting the Reject status can automatically create a Remediate Inventory task. For more information, see Updating Inventory Review and Remediation Settings for a Project.
