Creating or Editing Scan Profiles

When a scan profile is created, the data from the Standard Scan Profile is copied, including any search terms and exclusions. However, you can update any of this information for the scan profile you are creating.

You can also edit information in any custom and standard scan profiles (except the Standard Scan Profile). Note the following:

  • Scan profiles changes can result in costly rescans, especially when settings involved with source-code matching change. For details, refer to the “Rescanning Your Codebase” in the “Using Code Insight” chapter in the Code User Guide.

  • Scan profiles changes do not affect the current scan. Changes are applied to the next scheduled scan.

The following procedure describes how to create or edit a scan profile.

To create or edit a scan profile, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)
  • To edit an existing scan profile, locate the profile and click the Edit icon in the Actions column of the profile row.
