- The Constraint column shows whether the component will retrieve data for an "engineering" (AED) or "analytics" domain (AAD), and whether an extension needs to be installed in order to generate results (and if we need a specific version or RestAPI). The CAST-RestAPI version indicated is the minimal version of the RESTAPI needed by this component.
- Due to backward compatibility, some components can have two different IDs, but the result will be the same.
- The Mode column shows whether the component is targeted at an Application or a Portfolio or an Application - the relevant option should be chosen in Report Generator (see image below). CAST recommends always selecting an Application when the target domain is "engineering" and when using Application mode, as it will avoid empty results (this is because in an "analytics" domain, violations and components does not exist for an application).

Notes for OMG Technical Debt use
ISO option is the recommended technical debt to be used. Requires installation of OMG Technical Debt Measure (>2.0.0 funcrel) and ISO-5055 Index extensions during analysis
CISQ option required installation of OMG Technical Debt Measure and CISQ Index extensions during analysis. Scope of rules is reduced
