Viewing Inventory Across All Projects
Code Insight enables you to view published inventory of open-source software (OSS) and other third-party components found across the projects in your Code Insight system. This inventory, displayed in a single scrollable window called the Inventory view, provides the means to make overall assessments of the OSS or third-party code used in your company’s software.
The Inventory view can be filtered and refined as needed to focus on the inventory details and trends that most concern you and that are needed to make sound business decisions.
For example, you might need to determine which open-source or third-party components are putting your software deliverables at security risk due to security vulnerabilities above a certain severity or CVSS score, or which are posing threats to your intellectual property due to non-compliant licensing per your corporate policies. You might want to filter to inventory where security, legal, and development resources are most needed to complete the review or remediation work required to ensure that OSS or third-party code is properly and safely integrated in all your software projects.
The Inventory view also provides direct links to inventory items and the projects associated with these items so that you can investigate or manage the inventory and projects as needed.
The following topics provide the procedures needed to access and use the Inventory view:
