Filter and Sort Results in Polyspace Access Web Interface

R2026b

When you open the results of a Polyspace® analysis in the Dashboard view of Polyspace Access™, you see statistics about your project in the Project Overview dashboard. The statistics cover findings for:

To organize your review, you can narrow down the list or group results by file or result type.

Some of the ways you can use filtering are:

Filter Results

You can filter results by drilling down on a set of results in a dashboard, or directly in the Results List pane by using the Review toolstrip filters.

Filter Using Dashboards

Bug Finder dashboards

In the Dashboard view, you can:

  • Click a section of a pie chart or a pie chart legend on the Project Overview dashboard to see the corresponding set of results.

  • Open dashboards for different families of results, then click a number to open a list filtered to the corresponding set of results. For instance:

    • To see only high-impact defects that are still Open in a Bug Finder analysis, click the corresponding number in the Summary section of the Defects dashboard. Open results have status Unreviewed, To Investigate, To Fix, or Other.

    • To see only red checks that are Done in a Code Prover analysis, click the corresponding number in the Summary section of the Run-time Checks dashboard. Done results have status Justified, No Action Planned, or Not A Defect.

    • To see violations of the MISRAC C:2012 coding standards in a particular file, use the table in the Details section of the MISRA C:2012 dashboard.

  • Compare the Current run to an earlier Baseline run and review New or Unresolved findings. See Compare Results in Polyspace Access Project to Previous Runs.

If you select a folder that contains multiple projects in the Project Explorer, the dashboards display an aggregate of results for all the projects. Most of the fields in the dashboard are not clickable when you look at the statistics for multiple projects.

Filter Using Review Toolstrip

Polyspace Access Review Toolstrip

In the Review view, you can filter results by families of Polyspace results (Family Filters), or by result review progress (Filters). For instance:

  • To see Bug Finder defects only, select the Defects filter in the Family Filters group.

  • To see only results that are not justified, select the Open filter in the Filters group.

The filter bar underneath the toolstrip shows how many findings are displayed out of the total findings, along with which filters are currently applied.

Note

If you are reviewing a filtered list of open results and you add an SQO filter, the number of filtered results might increase. This can happen when your project has code metrics with a status of FAIL. The SQO filter adds the failing code metric results to the list of results.

The buttons in the Filters section of the toolstrip are global. They apply to all families of findings.

To filter results by specific content, such as a function name, use the search bar above the Results List. Enter queries in the form <column> <operator> <value>, where the operator is = (exact match), != (does not match), ~ (contains), or !~ (does not contain). Combine multiple criteria with AND and OR. Use * as a column name to search across all columns, or as a wildcard within values. For example, to show only results from .c files where the Group column contains memory:

File = *.c AND Group ~ memory

The search bar also provides:

  • A history of recent searches, accessible by clicking the History icon

  • A syntax reference with examples, accessible by clicking the Help icon

You can also filter results by right-clicking a cell in the Results List and selecting Show only or Filter out. This appends a column-specific query to the search bar. For instance, if you right-click foo in the Scope column and select Show only, the search bar shows Scope = "foo".

Filters you apply do not carry over to the next analysis.
