About Finalizing Notices Text

If the As-Found License Text field on the Notices Text tab for the current inventory item contains incorrect license text (or no text at all), you can use the Notices Text field on the same tab to provide the exact license content to show for that item on the Notices report.

Methods for Updating the Notices Text Field

You can update the Notices Text field for the current inventory item in the following ways:

•

Edit any license text previously saved to this field or add your own license text, such as license information pertaining to rules that you developed during your manual research on the inventory item.

•

Copy the As-Found License Text content, if it exists, to the Notices Text field and modify it as needed. (The As-Found License Text content, which is not editable, consists of the license text or license references found in the scanned codebase).

•

Pull a copy of the current text for the license from the Revenera Data Library into the Notices Text field and modify it as needed.

All of these methods are described in the next section, Finalizing License Content.

Note:Code Insight also provides the option to update the Notices Text field automatically across all inventory in the project by retrieving the appropriate notices text from the Revenera Data Library. For more information, see Updating Inventory Review and Remediation Settings for a Project.

License Content Ultimately Pulled into the Notices Report

If the Notices Text field contains information when the Notices report is run, the content of this field is pulled into the report, even if content exists in the As-Found License Text field. If the Notices Text field is empty, the content of the As-Found License Text field is used in the report. If both fields are empty, the report uses the license content from Revenera Data Library (see License Details from the Code Insight Data Library).

For more information about the Notices Text and As-Found License Text fields, see Reporting of Detected License Text Through the As-Found Text Inventory Field and Notices Text Field.

Note:If the As-Found License Text field contains content populated by the Scan Server, best practice is to leave the Notices Text field empty (as long as custom information or edits are not required) so that the report is forced to use the license information found in the As-Found License Text field.
