Learn how to manually add components (and component origins) to your projects, and modify the components captured in your projects.
You can manually adjust a project's software bill of materials (SBOM) by adding and editing components. This allows you to:
- Add components to your projects that aren't captured in tests.
- Assess the risk of components before you use them.
- Add different versions of components to your projects.
- Select a specific component origin (for components with multiple origins).
Please note:
- You can add any component found in the Black Duck KnowledgeBase™ to your projects. Note: If the component you wish to add doesn't already exist in the KnowledgeBase, you can submit a request to have it added.
- Components you add manually are included in your SBOM by default.
- Components you add manually can be triaged like other components.
- It can take up to 60 minutes for changes (adding components, editing components, deleting manually-added components) to affect reports and dashboards.
Component activity log
Each time you add, modify, or reset a component, an event is captured in the component's Activity Log (which you can view when you triage the issue). See View component history (and activity log) for more information.
