Creating a folder

You can add a new folder to a filter set so that you can display a group of issues you have filtered to the folder.

To create a folder:

  1. From the Fortify extension menu, select Project Configuration.

  2. Select the Folders tab.

    Currently defined folders are listed on the left. Folder properties including the name, color, and description of the selected folder are shown on the right.

    Folders tab in the Project Configuration dialog box
  3. To associate the new folder with an existing filter set, select a filter set from the Folders for Filter Set list.

    This selection updates the Folders list to display folders associated with the selected filter set.

  4. To add a folder:

    1. Next to Folders, click the Create Folder buttonĀ  .

      The Create New Folder dialog box opens.

    2. Type a unique name for the new folder, select a folder color, and then click OK.

      The folder is added to the bottom of the Folders list.

  5. To sort all issues that do not match a folder filter into this folder, select the Default Folder check box.
  6. Click OK.

The new folder is added to the local issue template. The folder displays as a tab with the other folders in the Analysis Results window.

To display issues in this folder, create a folder filter that targets the new folder (see Creating Filters from the Analysis Results Window and Creating Filters from the Filters Tab).
