Lookup Feature to Locate Software Release ID for the Application Associated with a Bucket

In the previous release, the optional field Software Release ID was added to the bucket definition, enabling users to associate all the parts in the bucket with a specific application cataloged in the Flexera Technopedia repository. Should a security vulnerability be associated with one or more parts in the application, Flexera IT Visibility users (who were also SBOM Insights users) could use this ID to search for those assets in their organization that accessed the application.

However, to associate the bucket with the correct software release ID, users needed to manually find the ID in Technopedia and enter it in the bucket definition.

In this release, SBOM Insights provides a “lookup” interface that helps users search Technopedia for the correct ID and, once it is found, automatically publishes the ID in the bucket definition.
