Package Alert tab - Packaging alerts - Ignoring an alert


If you know that an alert is false or will not impact the source code analysis, then it is possible to ignore the alert as follows:

  • Select the alert (1) and then click the ignore button:

  • A new dialog will be displayed:

  • Enter a Justification (1) for ignoring the alert. This is for information only and will be displayed in the Any alert to ignore? panel.
  • Now choose (2) whether you want the ignored alert setting to be applied to all projects in which the alert was identified, or whether you want it to apply to specific projects only (select the projects in the table using the check box).
  • Click Finish to save the ignored alert.
  • The ignored alert will then be displayed in the Any alert to ignore? panel. Next time you run a Package action, the ignored alert you created will be taken into account and the alert will be removed from the Packaging alerts panel.
