Project Labels

We have added the concept of project labels to FOSSA giving our users a powerful organization tool based upon the business context of each applicable project.

In this article, you learn about filtering and sorting options. As well as, bulk actions you can take to organize projects into teams or release groups

Sort Options

Title

Selecting Title within the Project(s) UI header will sort in ascending or descending

Issues

By default each project displays the total issue count across every available issue type. Issue types:

• Licensing
• Security
• Quality

You may change the Issue sort by selecting Total Issues in the header and choosing your desired issue type

📘

Tip

1. Selecting the header of the same issue type will change the sort from descending to ascending
2. Issue type selection will persist throughout the user's session

Last policy scan

The default sort for the Project(s) page is Last policy scan in descending (newest --> oldest) . You may change the sort direction by selecting the Last policy scan header.

Filter Options

You now have the ability to use filters to focus your risk evaluation efforts. Please review the list below for a detailed review of each filter.

Last policy scan

🚧

Note

"Last policy scan" replaces "Last Updated". Last updated only represented a new project revision submitted for analysis. "Last policy scan" represents both a new project revision or a new policy scan.

For FOSSA Security users a new policy scan across all projects, will always occur after each new FOSSA vulnerability database update to ensure we've detected any new CVE's.

📘

NOTE

You can select Reset all filters to remove existing filters at any time to display all identified issues.

Actions

In this section we will all available actions such as adding to deleting projects, adding to teams or creating release groups.

Bulk Actions

You can action more than one project at a time by using the select all or checking the boxes of the applicable project in the UI.

By selecting the bulk action checkbox, it automatically selects all projects listed on the page. To select all applicable projects, you must click the Select all link that displays in green.

Create Release group

After selecting your desired projects, you may select create a release group to add the selected projects to a new release group. Please see Managing Projects in FOSSA] for more details on managing and creating releases.

Delete projects

After selecting your desired projects, you may select Delete from the action menu to being your permanent deletion including any issue resolutions, OAuth tokens, notifications settings, and webhooks. Select Delete from the confirmation modal to submit your deletion.

Release Groups

Release groups exist within their own sub navigation in the Projects UI. Please see the table below for a detailed breakdown of the differences in available functionality for projects and release groups.
