File Metadata

The File Details tab includes a expandable header that lists metadata about the selected codebase file, as well as the three tabs— Evidence , Exact Matches , and Partial Matches —available to examine the file’s open-source or third-party evidence. (These tabs are described in the procedural sections that follow.)

By default, the header is collapsed.

File PropertyDescription
<alias>:<relativeFile Path> name(Displays only when the header is collapsed) The file identified in an <alias>:<relativeFilePath> format, where <alias> and <relativeFilePath> are defined below for Alias and Path . As an example, if you selected the codebase file agpl\-3\.0\.txt , located directly under the scan folder ePortal\-1\.3 , which in turn is directly under the scan-root path for the scanner whose alias is “EP_remote”, the file name shown here would be EP\_remote:ePortal\-1\.3/agpl\-3\.0\.txt .
NameThe name of the selected file.
PathThe file’s path relative to the scan-root path on instance hosting the scanner (Scan Server or remote scan agent).
AliasThe unique name defined during scanner setup to represent the scanner’s scan-root path containing the codebase where the file is located. The alias provides a more descriptive name for the scan-root path.
DigestThe MD5 value for the file. If SHA-1 support is enabled for your Code Insight instance, you can view the file’s SHA-1 digest by using the Code Insight Get details of a file by ID or Fetch all scanned files for a project REST API. For more information about these APIs, refer to the Code Insight Swagger documentation, available from the Help > REST API Guide option on the menu. The SHA-1 digest does not display along with the MD5 digest in this metadata section. (To determine whether SHA-1 support is enabled, contact your Code Insight database or system administrator.)
ModifiedThe value of the file’s “Date Modified” property at the time of the most recent scan. This value shows the date when the file was last modified in the file system.
TypeThe file format type of the scanned file, such FILE or ARCHIVE_BINARY.
File SizeThe size of the file.
Lines of CodeThe number of lines of code in the file.
ReviewedThe Yes or No indicator showing whether the file has been reviewed.
