Clicking # snippet displays the Snippet View. The information shown here depends on whether you uploaded source files during the snippet scan.
If you uploaded source files, the Snippet View displays the source file on the left pane and the matched component on the right pane:
Highlighted code indicates the lines of code that were matched in the source file to the component in the current match.
If you did not upload source files, the matched component appears in the right pane:
Highlighted text shows the lines of code of the component that were matched by the selected (current) match.
If the file has more than one snippet match, a message appears at the bottom of the Snippet View, letting you navigate to the next snippet match.
The Snippet View provides the following information for the current match (and any alternative matches):
Component name and version.
Component license.
Release date.
Match file path.
Percentage of the scanned file that matches the component file.
The Alternative Matches drop-down list shows alternative components and/or component versions which could be possible matches for the selected snippet. The match which is currently assigned to the selected snippet is the default. Selecting a match from the drop-down list displays the code for that component or component version.
