Changing the Priority of an Alert

Use the following procedure to change the High, Medium, or Low priority of an alert. The priority indicates the urgency with which the security vulnerability associated with the alert needs to be addressed. The initial priority value defaults to the severity of the security vulnerability itself, but you can change this priority based on your site’s needs. For more information about vulnerability priority, see Alert Details.

Note:If the Code Insight System Administrator has switched Code Insight from CVSS v2.0 to CVSS v3.x scoring or vice versa, you might notice a change in the Severity and CVSS Score for the vulnerability associated with the alert. However, the alert Priority should not change from its value current at the time of the switch.

To change the priority of a security vulnerability alert, do the following:

1.

Open the Alerts dialog for a given inventory item in a project, as described in Accessing Security Vulnerability Alerts.

2.

In the Priority column, select the new priority.
