assign an analysis value to multiple issues simultaneously

[mmesser314]

I looked in the user manual at https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/fortify-static-code-analyzer-and-tools/1810/AWB_Guide_18.10.pdf

P 91 gives directions to set multiple issues to Not An Issue at the same time. It isn't working for me. Am I doing something wrong?

I am using HPE Security Fortify Software Security Center 17.20.0183

I go to the Audit page to display issues.

I select the issues I want to update by checking the box on the left side.

I press Shift-Ctrl-A. Nothing happens.

Are you using Audit Workbench? Or are you using the web interface to SSC?

The web interface

The take away is perhaps there is a better manual? I see there is a product named Software Security Center, which is probably what SSC means.

I am not having much luck so far. With a little googling, I found some User Guides, including one for HPE Security Fortify Software Security Center, version 17.10. But it doesn't have anything helpful.  I guess I need the workbench.

The guide you were reading was for the Audit Workbench application. I prefer to use that over the web interface to SSC.

From the web interface, at least in v18.10, there is a checkbox at the top of the list, in the row with the column headers. Clicking that checkbox will select all checkboxes. Unfortunately, after you then click Assign or Suppress or whatever action you want to do to the items selected, those items checked then become unchecked. I guess that's not a problem if you are selecting all items, but if you selected half of them, to Assign and you also want to Suppress them, then you'll have to know which ones you Assigned and then re-check those. Kind of a pain.
