Using the Project Dashboard

When you select a project in the Projects pane, the project’s dashboard is displayed, providing you with an interactive view of your project, including security-vulnerability and license exposure, codebase and inventory review statistics, and other information. The following topics describe this dashboard.

Navigating the Project Dashboard Features

This procedure walks you through the dashboard features and explains how to use their interactive capabilities.

To use the project dashboard, do the following:

1. Navigate to the Projects view. (See Opening the Projects View if additional instructions are needed.)
2. In the Projects pane on the left, click a project in the list of projects. The dashboard for the selected project is displayed in the right panel. (Alternatively, hover over the project entry in the list, and click the Load Project Dashboard icon in the entry to display the dashboard.)

The project dashboard contains the following charts to provide an overview of the project’s most recent scan and the resulting inventory:

Scan Summary—A summary of your most recent Scanner scan (that is, server scan) and most recent Remote Scans. If multiple scan-agent plugins are used for remote scanning, the Remote Scans summary shows combined totals from the most recent scans of all the agents.

If only a server scan has occurred, the tile shows only Scanner totals. Likewise, if only remote scans have occurred, the tile shows only Remote Scans totals.

Audit Progress—For a Scanner (server) scan, a snapshot of the audit progress that users have made on those files containing OSS or third-party evidence. No audit progress is shown for remote scans.

The tile also shows the total number of scanned files and resulting inventory items for the project.

Security Vulnerability Exposure—An interactive color-coded chart depicting percentages of security vulnerabilities by severity across all inventory in the project. You can hover over a color segment in the chart to see an actual number and percentage. To the right of the chart, a color legend also shows the total number and percentage of vulnerabilities of a given severity. The number in the center of the chart is the total number of security vulnerabilities found across all inventory.

The colors in this chart indicating severity can vary depending on the CVSS version that Code Insight is using.

Additionally, the counts in this chart do not include vulnerabilities are currently suppressed. See Working with Security Vulnerabilities for details.)

License Exposure—An interactive color-coded chart depicting percentages of project inventory grouped by the priority of the license associated with the inventory. (License priority ranks licenses by their degree of impact on your organization’s proprietary policies.) You can hover over a color segment in the chart to see an actual number and percentage. To the right of the chart, a color legend also shows the total number and percentage of inventory items associated with a given license priority. The number in the center of the chart is the total number of inventory items identified for the current project. For more information about license priority, see License Priority.
Inventory Priority—An interactive color-coded chart depicting percentages of inventory grouped by inventory priority in the current project. (Inventory priority identifies which inventory items need more attention than others in the inventory review process; it is derived from an algorithm based in part on an item’s associated license priority and security vulnerabilities.) You can hover over a color segment in the chart to see an actual number and percentage. To the right of the chart, a color legend also shows the total number and percentage of inventory items that are assigned the given inventory priority. For more information, see Inventory Priority.
Inventory Review Status—An interactive color-coded chart that provides a visual of the how many inventory items have been approved, rejected, or not reviewed in the project. You can hover over a color segment in the chart to see an actual number and percentage. To the right of the chart, a color legend also shows the total number and percentage of inventory items that are assigned the given review status.
3. (Optional) Click a legend item or color segment in a chart to open the project to only those inventory items associated with the segment or legend item. See Opening a Project for details.

Alternatively, you can open the project to view all its inventory (see Opening a Project), or select another project from the list of projects in the Projects pane to view the dashboard for that project.
