Project and application PDF reports

As a project or application administrator, you can change the PDF report subscription frequency of the project or application:

• Project-level: To change the frequency setting for a specific project, navigate to the project's home page then Project Settings > General Settings > Governance. Under Project and Application PDF Reports, select an option from the PDF Reports Frequency drop-down menu.
• Application-level: To change the frequency setting for a specific application, navigate to the application's home page then Application Settings > Application Report Settings, and select an option from the Application Reports Frequency drop-down menu.

You have the following options for subscription frequency:

• Daily 
• Weekly 
• Monthly (default)

Tags

Project tags allow you to categorize and group projects for easier selection on the Projects page. Project tags can be administered from the project home page. Administrators will see a dropdown menu indicator next to the project's list of current tags (or next to the No tags indicator). If the tag you want isn't visible in the dropdown, use the built-in search input to find what you're looking for, or create it on the fly.

Administration items

Project administration is accessible through the Project Settings menu of each project.

Only project administrators can access project's settings.

Adding a project

A project is automatically added at its first analysis. You can also create and import projects before the first analysis and automate the creation and import of projects using the Web API. See Creating and importing projects for more information.

Analysis report processing

A project-level background tasks page is available at Project Settings > Background Tasks to allow project administrators to check their projects' processing. It offers analysis report details and logs.

Deleting a project

Deleting a single project

You can delete a project through Project Settings > Deletion.

Deleting multiple projects

You can also delete multiple projects simultaneously from the global Project Settings > Projects > Management.

Updating the project key

The project key can be updated (without losing the history on the project) at Project Settings > Update Key.

The new key must contain at least one non-digit character. Allowed characters are: a through z, A through Z, - (dash), _ (underscore), . (dot), : (colon) and the digits 0 through 9. This value is case-sensitive.

Default issue assignee

When new issues are created during analysis, they are assigned to the last committer where the issue was raised. When it is not possible to identify the last committer, issues can be assigned to a default assignee, at Administration > General Settings > Issues.

Setting quality gate and quality profiles

Project administrators can select which of the following to use on their project:

• Quality profiles (go to Project Settings > Quality Profiles)
• Quality gate (go to Project Settings > Quality Gate)

Setting exclusions

See the Analysis scope page.

Customizing links

On top of standard links which may only be set as Analysis parameters, additional custom links can be added through the web interface (under Project Settings > Links). Those links will then be displayed in the Project Information page.

Enabling AI Code Assurance on projects

There are two steps to enable AI Code Assurance on your project.

1. Go to Project settings > AI-generated code and activate the Contains AI-generated code setting. Projects marked in this way will have an AI CODE label in the Projects page.
2. Then, apply an AI-qualified quality gate to your project. Projects marked in this way will have an AI Code Assurance label in the project list. For more information, see the Applying a qualified quality gate article on the Standards for AI code page.

If you’ve completed both steps above, a dynamic AI Code Assurance badge will be available to publish the current status of your AI Code Assured projects on your web pages. This badge works like other SonarQube badges and can be used by any team member with project access; see Using a project badge for instructions.
