Block List

Overview

A BlockList object can be added beneath a Code Analysis Manager object. The BlockList object contains elements that will not appear in Conventions Table, Metrics Table, or Dashboard results. This, although, is taken into account when you upload a project snapshot into Machine Advisor Code Analysis.

To add an element to a block list, right-click the element in the navigator tree and select Code Analysis > Add to BlockList > Add to Users-BlockList or Add to Project-BlockList from the contextual menu. These contextual menu commands are also available in the result lists of the Conventions Table or Metrics Table.

The BlockList provides two tabs:

Conventions

List of objects that should not appear in Conventions Table and Dashboard results.
Metrics

List of objects that should not appear in Metrics Table and Dashboard results.

Each tab provides two parts:

Project-Blocklist (left-hand side)

Contains blocked elements that are available for the users that use the project.
Users-Blocklist (right-hand side)

Contains blocked elements that should be available only on your PC for this project.
