Viewing Associated Files

Associated files are files in your codebase that have been automatically or manually associated with the inventory item selected in the Inventory Items pane due to evidence found in the files.

To view associated files, do the following:

1.

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

2.

Click an inventory item from the Inventory Items list.

3.

From the Project Inventory Details Pane on the right, select the Associated Files tab in the inventory details to view the list of files associated with the selected inventory item. Each file entry shows the following:

•

Alias—The unique, user-defined name provided during scanner setup (for a Scan Server or a remote scan agent) to represent its scan-root path containing the codebase in which the file is located. The alias provides a name that is more meaningful than the scan-root path.

•

File Path—The file’s path relative to the scan-root path on instance hosting the scanner.

If you have Analyst permissions, the path is hyperlinked to open to the file’s File Details tab in the Analysis Workbench, where you can view file evidence. If necessary, while in the Analysis Workbench, you can also add or remove files associated with the inventory. If you do not have Analyst permissions, the path remains in plain text.

4.

When you have finished viewing associated files, select another tab or click another item listed in the Inventory Items pane.
