Customizing issue visibility

You can customize the Fortify Remediation window to determine which issues it displays.

To customize the display of hidden, removed, and suppressed issues:

  1. In the Fortify Remediation window, expand the Advanced Filter Options section.

  2. Select or clear the following options:

    • To display all hidden issues, select Show Hidden.

      The visibility filter settings in the issue template associated with the application version determine which issues are hidden.

    • To display all issues that were detected in the previous analysis, but no longer exist, select Show Removed.

    • To display all suppressed issues, select Show Suppressed.

      Users who audit issues can suppress specific types of issues that are not considered high priority or of immediate concern. For example, auditors can suppress issues that are fixed, or issues that your organization plans not to fix.

The Fortify Remediation window displays issues based on your selection.

You can also specify the issue visibility settings from the Options dialog box (from the Fortify extension menu, select Options, and then select Remediation Configuration in the left pane).
