Creating a Custom Field for Specifying a Bucket in Projects

Use the following procedure to create the custom field used by a Project Analyst to specify the SBOM Insights bucket for a given project’s export process. Once the inventory for a given project is exported, SBOM Insights automatically imports the inventory (now called a set of “SBOM parts”) to this bucket, where the “parts” are managed and viewed.

To create custom field to specify an SBOM Insights bucket in a project, do the following:

  1. Follow steps 1 through 3 in Creating a Custom Field for Inventory to begin the process of creating a custom field.

  2. Configure the following attributes for the custom field.

    Except for the Help Text value, the value listed for each field in the table is the required value for exporting project inventory to SBOM Insights. (For general information about the fields, see Attributes Used to Define a Custom Field for Projects.)

    FieldTo this...
    EnabledSelect Yes .
    Visible in UISelect Yes .
    Field LabelEnter SBOM Bucket Name .
    Field TypeSelect Text Field .
    Help Text(Optional) Enter a description or brief instructions for the user who must identify the SBOM Insights bucket. The following is an example: Enter the exact name of the bucket in SBOM Insights to which SBOM Insights automatically imports the project’s inventory once the export is complete. You can leave this field blank although best practice is to provide help for the user.

  3. Click Save. If the field is successfully saved, it is now available to all projects, enabling Project Administrators to specify the SBOM Insights bucket required for exporting project inventory to SBOM Insights.
