Toolbars

The Fortify WebInspect window contains two toolbars: Scan and Standard. You can display or hide either toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu.

Buttons Available on the Scan Toolbar

Button Function
You can pause a scan and then resume scanning. Also, a completed scan may contain sessions that were not sent (because of timeouts or other errors); if you click Start, Fortify WebInspect will attempt to resend those sessions.
Interrupts an ongoing scan. You can continue scanning by clicking the Start/Resume button.
If you conduct a crawl-only scan or a Step Mode scan, you can afterwards click this button to conduct an audit. For more information, see Running a Manual Scan.

This button appears only if you select a tab containing a scan. The Rescan drop-down menu allows you to:

This button appears only if you select a tab containing a scan. It allows you to compare the vulnerabilities revealed by two different scans of the same target. For more information, see Comparing Scans.
This button appears only if Fortify WebInspect is connected to Fortify WebInspect Enterprise and a scan is open on the tab that has focus. It allows you to send the scan settings to Fortify WebInspect Enterprise, which creates a scan request and places it in the scan queue for the next available sensor. For detailed information, see Running a Scan in Enterprise Server. 

This button appears only after connecting to Fortify WebInspect Enterprise. It allows you to specify a Fortify Software Security Center application and version. Fortify WebInspect then downloads a list of vulnerabilities from Fortify Software Security Center, compares the downloaded vulnerabilities to the vulnerabilities in the current scan, and assigns an appropriate status (New, Existing, Reintroduced, or Not Found) to the vulnerabilities in the current scan. For detailed information, see Integrating Vulnerabilities into Fortify Software Security Center.

Note: This option is available only if Fortify WebInspect Enterprise is integrated with Fortify Software Security Center.

This button appears only after connecting to Fortify WebInspect Enterprise and is enabled after you have synchronized Fortify WebInspect with Fortify Software Security Center. It uploads application version data through Fortify WebInspect Enterprise to Fortify Software Security Center.

Note: This option is available only if Fortify WebInspect Enterprise is integrated with Fortify Software Security Center.
