Audit Explorer
The Audit Explorer displays the resources created by and associated with
the code audit feature. There are two kinds of
resources that are currently displayed in the Audit Explorer.
-
Audit Result Set
-
An audit result set is the set of violations resulting from auditing
a set of resources. The violations in an audit result set can be
viewed in the Audit view.
-
Audit Series
-
An audit series is a report based on a series of audit result sets.
An audit series can be opened in an
Audit Series editor to allow the report to be configured, and
can also be used to generate an HTML representation of the report.
To open an audit series editor, double click on the audit series in
this view.
The resources displayed in this view are grouped into storage locations
based on where the resources reside. There are two kinds of storage
locations.
-
Workspace Location
-
There is a single workspace location that is accessible to only the
current workspace. The workspace location is where new resources
are created by default. For example, when an audit is manually
performed, the audit result set is placed in the workspace location.

-
Project Locations
-
There is a project location for each project that is currently
loaded in the workspace. The project location is physically located
within the directory structure containing the project, so it can be
shared by all of the developers that have that project loaded. (The
storage location for projects is located within a directory named
.codepro found at the top level of the project
directory.)
There is a filter option that controls
the visibility of project locations that are either empty or
non-existent. If a project does not appear in the tree, check the
setting of this option.
The resources displayed in this view can be copied and moved to other
locations using the standard drag-drop gestures for the current
platform.
Right-clicking on a resource will display the following menu:
The Create Series menu item will create a new audit series in the
currently selected location (if a location is selected) or the location
containing the currently selected resource (if a resource is selected).
If a single audit result set is selected, then the newly created series
will be initialized to contain the selected result set.
The Generate HTML... menu item will cause an
HTML report to be
generated from the currently selected audit series. You will be prompted
for the location of the HTML file.
The Delete menu item will cause the currently selected resources to
be deleted from the external storage.
The Select All menu item will cause all of the resources to be
selected.
Clicking on the Delete button will cause the currently selected
resources to be deleted from the external storage.
Clicking on the Refresh button will cause the contents of the
view to be refreshed based on the contents of the external storage.
Selecting the Filter... menu item will open a dialog where you can
select whether projects will be shown if their storage location is
either non-existent or empty.
