Task: Chart Active Warnings by Project and Class

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

This kind of chart allows you to see at a glance which projects on the hub have the most warnings still active, and how those warnings break down by class.

See Charts and Chart Tables: Permissions for details of the permissions that apply to charts and charting operations.

If the CodeSonar Web GUI is not already open, open it now.

If you have just opened the GUI, the home page will already be displayed. Otherwise, click the CodeSonar logo in the GUI page header to navigate to the home page.

Click the Charts and Tables section header to expand that section, then click the chart link in the warnings per project line.

Choose the active Visible Warnings setting so that the chart displays only active warnings.

There are a number of things you can do with this chart, including:

Hover over a bar to see the project name and exact warning count.
Click on a bar to view the corresponding warning search results: the active warnings for the project whose bar you clicked.
Change the Visible Warnings setting and see how the chart changes.

If you experimented with any of the options in the previous step, make sure that you are viewing your chart with Visible Warnings set to active before proceeding.

Select Change groups from the chart Edit menu.
