Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan 360°, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Installation
Learn how to install the AppScan Central Platform and AppScan 360° Static Analysis.
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
- Users
  User management allows you to control access to sensitive applications by assigning them to asset groups and then adding specific users to those groups.
- Applications
  An application is a collection of scans related to the same project. It can be a web site, a desktop app, a mobile app, a web service, or any component of an app. Applications enable you to asses risk, identify trends, and make sure that your project is compliant with industry and organization policies.
  - Creating and editing applications
    An application is a collection of scans related to the same project. It can be a web app, a mobile app, a web service, or any component of an app. Applications enable you to asses risk, identify trends, and make sure that your project is compliant with industry and organization policies.
  - Importing a list of applications
    Importing an inventory list of your applicationss can save time by reducing redundant manual work. Start with a sample spreadsheet of application attributes, or merge the sample spreadsheet with your existing list. Your list of applications must be in a CSV format. Make sure that you use a spreadsheet editor, such as Microsoft™ Excel or Apache OpenOffice Calc, to edit your CSV file.
  - Cleanup
    Removing old scans can help improve performance and reduce clutter.
- Policies
  You can apply the predefined policies, as well as your own custom policies, to show only data for the issues that are relevant for you.
- DevOps
  Tools for incorporating AppScan 360° in your software development lifecycle.
- Personal scans
  A personal scan is a way of evaluating the relative security of an application in development without affecting overall application scan data (issues, for example), or compliance.
- Scan status
- Audit trail
  The audit trail (Organization > Audit trail) logs user activity.
Navigation
This section describes the items on the main AppScan 360° menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
Static analysis
Use static analysis (SAST) to scan for security vulnerabilities in web and desktop applications. Static analysis includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
Results
The Scans and Sessions page lists scans under the categories where you can view your scan results, including scan statistics. To view, rescan, or download reports, select a scan.

Working with applications

An application is a collection of scans related to the same project. It can be a web site, a desktop app, a mobile app, a web service, or any component of an app. Applications enable you to asses risk, identify trends, and make sure that your project is compliant with industry and organization policies.

One application can contain a combination of several scans, as well as issues imported from third-party scanners. All findings are consolidated at the application level. You can create applications or import a list of them from a CSV file.
