Versions for <component> Window

The Versions for <component> window lists each version for a given component, along with the version’s possible licenses and security vulnerability totals (by severity). You can interact with the vulnerability bar graph to examine details about each associated vulnerability and, if needed, to suppress vulnerabilities for the version. In essence, the window provides a means to determine which component versions have the least security risk. This information can help the user decide whether to replace the current inventory component version with another more secure one.

The Versions for <component> window is accessed in any of the following ways:

•

When editing a given inventory item on the Inventory Details tab in the Analysis Workbench, click the View all versions link next to the Component field. (The inventory item must be of Component type to see the link.)

•

When editing a given project inventory item in the Edit Inventory window (opened from the item’s Inventory Details tab on the Project Inventory tab), click the View all versions link next to the Component field.

•

When performing a global exploration of components in the Code Insight Data Library from the DATA LIBRARY > Global Component & License Lookup > Components tab, click the View Versions icon in the Actions column for a given component. (The DATA LIBRARY option is found on the Code Insight main menu, accessed by clicking on the Code Insight web page).

The Versions for <component> window lists (in a grid format) each version for the given component, as identified in the Code Insight Data Library.

The columns in the list provide the following information for each version.

Versions for <component> Window

Column	Description
Version	The component version.
Security Vulnerabilities	Security vulnerability totals for the version: • The value None is displayed if no security vulnerabilities are associated with the version. • If security vulnerabilities are associated with the version, a Vulnerabilities bar graph is displayed, showing vulnerability totals by severity. For instructions on how to interact with this graph to examine details about the associated vulnerabilities and, if needed, to suppress vulnerabilities for the version, see Examining Security Vulnerability Details.
License(s)	The licenses associated with this version.

You can also create a new version for the component by clicking the Create Custom Version button. See Creating Custom Component Versions for instructions.
