Overview of the Analysis Workbench

You can view the detailed results of a Code Insight codebase scan on the Analysis Workbench of the Projects view. The Analysis Workbench tab consists of multiple panes and tabs that list the evidence of open-source/third-party components that were discovered during the scan.

Pane/TabDescription
Codebase Files PaneLists all of the files in the codebase. If you click on a file, evidence summary details on that file are displayed in the File Details Tab. Before a software application can be approved for release, every file in the codebase needs to be reviewed.
File Search Results PaneUse the Advanced Search button in this pane to filter the list of codebase files by a predefined filter (such as Files that require additional analysis ) or a new filter that you create. This pane also shows the results of the filters selected on the Analysis Workbench legend (see Using the Legend to Identify/Filter Evidence Types).
File Details TabIf you click on a file in the Codebase Files or File Search Results panes, summary details of evidence for that individual codebase file are displayed in this tab, which has several subtabs: Evidence Summary—Lists a summary of the evidence detected for that file. Exact Matches and Partial Matches subtabs—Displays the actual content of scanned (non-binary) files, with evidence highlighted using color-coding to indicate its type, such as green for licenses, blue for copyrights, etc.
Evidence Details TabDisplays a summary of all evidence discovered in the codebase, which is organized and sortable.
Inventory Items Pane and Inventory Details TabLists all existing open-source/third-party components for which evidence was discovered. For more information, see Viewing Inventory Items and Inventory Details.
LegendProvides a key to the colors used in the various panes on this tab to identify the type of evidence detected in a file. For more information, see Using the Legend to Identify/Filter Evidence Types.
