Changing the Status of an Alert

Use the following procedure to change the Open or Closed status of a security vulnerability alert. Usually, you close an alert because the associated security vulnerability has been addressed in your product through remediation or the alert is a false positive. You might need to reopen an alert because further remediation is required.

For more information about the Open and Closed statuses, see Alert Details.

To change the status 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 Status column for a given alert, select either option from the dropdown list:

•

Open to reactivate the alert.

•

Closed to indicate that the alert has been addressed.
