Managing issue status

You can see all of the issues in Issues view. Issues can be listed in order of impact, file, and rule. And issues can be filtered by status, impact, file, and rule.

Issue status identifies the status quo of an issue. It can be manually assessed by a user or automatically changed by DeepScan.

Issue Statuses

You can now review your issue and change its status as you assess. For example, you can set a 'False Positive' status if you assess the issue is invalid.
