Exploring Components and Licenses in the Data Library
Users can look up components and search license details as found in the Code Insight Data Library when they create and edit inventory within a project. However, Code Insight also provides the Global Component & License Lookup feature, which enables users to explore components and licenses in the Data Library outside the context of project inventory.
This type of search might be useful, for example, when a current inventory component is associated with security vulnerabilities. Users can perform a global search on the Data Library to look for components and their versions that might be associated with less severe or no vulnerabilities, thereby helping the user to decide whether to replace the current inventory component with another more secure one.
Global Component & License Lookup feature also enables users to create custom components and licenses that are missing from the Data Library.
