Projects Management
Introduction
A project is the target for the scans. It can be any unit of software that can be analyzed independently, with any granularity. It could correspond with an application, module, service, microservice, container image, library, component…
A project typically is under version control, and it physically has a set of source files, often grouped as a repository in a Source Code Management (SCM) System.
So, in short, a project is the analysis unit in Xygeni, can match any software item that is analyzed independently (library, application etc.) and often is a repository under version control.
Projects have the following properties:
Business Value, one of CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW or INFO.
Business Area, organization-specific.
Architecture, organization-specific.
Tags, arbitrary labels that could be added to a project for grouping and classification purposes.
Other common properties are Provider, which could be used to track your software suppliers' risk, and Product Unit, which help organizing scanned modules into aggregated software products.
A Policy could be assigned to a project. If no explicit policy is set for the project, the default policy will be used.
Choosing project or group in Dashboard
In the top bar of the Dashboard there is a project selector for choosing an individual project or a group of projects
The Projects Selector is a UI feature that allows to select a project subset among the available ones in the Xygeni organization. Almost every UI page’s data is related to the selected Project(s).
The subset of projects can vary from a unique project to All projects, passing for any defined subset.
Projects can be aggregated into groups defined dynamically via their properties. Projects can be tagged with labels that allow to group them in arbitrary collections.
Projects are scanned for analyzing Software Supply Chain Security issues; the scan findings are uploaded to the Xygeni service. The Dashboard shows such findings for an individual project or aggregated at any group.
Projects Management
Project Management page can be found at Settings >> Project Management
In order to browse through the existing projects, you can use the Filter fields.
Clicking on New Project button allows you to create a project. When creating a new project, you will see that some properties are General (i.e. out-of-the-box properties, those marked with a (*) are mandatory ) and others are Custom (i.e. defined by the Xygeni administrator).
Clicking on the 
icons will allow you to edit and delete the selected project.
When editing a particular project, the project management slide opens and is organized into the following tabs:
