After Creation

Once the wizard completes, your SBOM project is ready to use.

What Happens Next

1. Your SBOM project appears in the SBOMs menu
2. Components are listed in the Bill of Materials view
3. Initial component status shows as Undefined, Approved, or Rejected based on Knowledge Base matches
4. You can now:
   • Review detected components
   • Enrich component metadata
   • Assign licenses
   • Check for vulnerabilities
   • Export the SBOM

Next Steps

After creating your SBOM project:

• Review Components - Examine the detected components list
• Classify Components - Mark components as Approved, Rejected, or Proprietary
• Manage Licenses - Assign and verify component licenses
• Check Vulnerabilities - Review security vulnerabilities
• Enrich Metadata - Add or update component information
• Export SBOM - Generate CycloneDX or other format exports
• Create New Versions - Scan updated code to track changes over time

Creating New Versions

When creating a completely new SBOM, you'll need to configure all wizard steps from scratch. However, when creating a new version of an existing SBOM project, the wizard automatically retains configuration from the previous version:

Retained Configuration:

• Source type and location (filesystem path, Git URL, etc.)
• File filters (include/exclude rules)
• SBOM license policy
• Package manager selections and custom paths
• Scanner settings and Knowledge Base options

What You Need to Update:

• Version number (required field - must be unique)
• Optionally modify any retained settings if needed

This makes it much faster to create new versions of the same project as code evolves.
