Ignoring a component in a BOM

You ignore an OSS component in the BOM of a project version so that any associated risks are excluded from the risk calculations.

Ignoring a component is considered a component adjustment. Therefore, if you selected to apply persistent edits, ignoring a component applies to all versions of the project.

Note: If you ignore an automatically-added OSS component from a project version BOM, it will continue to be ignored even if the code where it was discovered is rescanned to update the BOM.

Note: You cannot ignore manually added components.

To ignore a component in a project version BOM:

Log in to Black Duck.
Select the project name using the Watching or My Projects dashboard. The Project Name page appears.
Select the version name to open the Components tab and view the BOM.
In the List view of the BOM, click and select Ignore to open the Ignore Component dialog box.
Click Ignore.
The component is ignored when calculating project version risk and is not displayed in the BOM.

To ignore multiple components in a project version BOM:

Display the project version BOM. Ensure you are in the Components view.
Check the box next to any number of components.
Click the Bulk Actions button.
Select Ignore.
The Bulk Action: Ignore dialog box appears.
Click the Save button to perform the action or the Cancel button to exit the dialog box.

To unignore multiple components in a project version BOM:

Display the project version BOM. Ensure you are in the Components view.
Check the box next to any number of components.
Click the Bulk Actions button.
Select Unignore.

The Bulk Action: Unignore dialog box appears.

To view ignored components:

While viewing the BOM using the component list view, select Ignore from the Add filter list.

A list of filters appears.
Select Ignored and click OK.

The table displays all ignored components.
