Viewing Inventory Properties and Linking to Additional Information

The Inventory view highlights the important properties for the inventory—the project to which the inventory is associated, the number of known security vulnerabilities, inventory review status, whether the inventory has open task or alerts, and more—enabling you to quickly review the listed inventory items for areas concern or interest. Some properties include links to additional information, enabling you to explore an inventory item in more depth.

For example, the Tasks property provides a link to view and edit any open tasks for an inventory item. The Component and License properties can link to more details about the component or license as found in the Code Insight Data Library of third-party and OSS component information. The Vulnerabilities and Alerts properties can link directly to the CVSS information pertaining to any security issues associated with an inventory item.

Additionally, for a more comprehensive information of a given inventory item, you can click within the row for a given inventory item on the Inventory view to open a read-only slide-out panel of the item’s details. Alternatively, links are provided to directly access the project with which an inventory item is associated. Then, from within the project, you can explore information gathered for the specific inventory item (and for all inventory in the project) and edit this information as necessary according to your permissions.
