Creating a Custom Field for Projects

Use the following procedure to create a custom field for use by all projects.

To create a custom field for projects, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)

  2. On the Administration page, select the System Settings tab on the left.

  3. In the Custom Fields for Projects section, click Add Field to open the Add Custom Field dialog.

  4. Enter the attributes of the custom field you are creating. For a description of each attribute, see Attributes Used to Define a Custom Field for Projects.

    note

    When setting up the SBOM Bucket Name field for exporting inventory data to SBOM Insights, you must define specific attributes. See Configuring Code Insight for Exports to SBOM Insights for instructions.

  5. Click Save. The new custom field is added to the list of custom fields in the Custom Fields for Project section on System Settings tab. Additionally, the field’s configuration determines its availability in Code Insight. For more information about the availability of the field once you save its definition, see Disabling or Re-enabling a Custom Field for Projects.
