Auto-Publish

These options enable and configure the automatic publication of project inventory as part of the project scan process.

If the Auto-publish system-created inventory items meeting this minimum Confidence Level is selected to enable auto-publication, the other auto-publish options are made available.

Auto-publish system-created inventory items meeting this minimum Confidence Level

Select this option to enable the auto-publication of system-generated inventory items. (By default, the option is selected.) Then select the minimum Inventory Confidence level required to determine which items to auto-publish:

• Low—Auto-publish all system-generated inventory.
• Medium—Auto-publish only those system-generated inventory items with Medium and High confidence levels. (This is the default value.)
• High—Auto-publish only those system-generated inventory items with a High confidence level.

For a description of the Confidence levels and how they are used, see Inventory Confidence.

Note:The scan ignores this rule for the following system-generated inventory and never automatically publishes this inventory:

• Inventory detected by the File Name Analyzer only
• Inventory automatically designated as Work in Progress

 

Do not auto-publish inventory items with an undetermined license

Select this option to not auto-publish any system-generated inventory item with an undetermined license (that is, an inventory item whose License value is I don’t know). An undetermined license can occur under the following conditions:

• The scan was not able to identify a license for the given component during the scan and therefore set the I don’t know license value.
• The inventory item has multiple possible disjunctive licenses (for example, “GPLV2 or MIT”). However, the scan could find no evidence of the desired selected license and therefore set the I don’t know license value.
• The inventory item has multiple possible conjunctive licenses (for example, “GPLv2 and MIT”). However, since Code Insight currently supports only a single selected license, the scan automatically set the I don’t know value for the inventory item.

By default, this option is not selected, allowing the auto-publication of inventory with undetermined licenses.

The option is available only if Auto-publish system-created inventory items meeting this minimum Confidence level is selected.

Mark associated files as reviewed

Select this option to automatically mark the files associated with each auto-published inventory item as “reviewed”. (By default, the option is selected.)

This option is available only if Auto-publish system-created inventory items meeting this minimum Confidence level is selected.

Project Codebase for Scan Server

These settings enable you to limit which directories are scanned in your codebase.

 

Path

From the interactive directory tree representing the project’s codebase on the Scan Server, select the checkbox next to one or more top-level directories that you want to scan. To scan only specific subdirectories in a top-level directory, drill down in that directory and select the desired subdirectories.

If the Scan Server is down, no project tree is displayed.

Selected Paths

The pane showing the path for each directory currently selected for the scan. As a quick method for removing a given directory from the scan without having to drill down in the tree to locate it, simply click the X next to the directory in this pane. If the Scan Server is down, this pane is blank.

Actions

These buttons control whether changes to project settings are saved across all Edit Project tabs.
