Display Welcome screen on startup |
The Welcome screen appears when AppScan launches. It offers quick access to configuring and loading scans. If you find that you are closing the Welcome screen more often than using its features, you can stop it from opening by clearing this check box. |
|
Check for updates on startup |
AppScan will check for updated tests, security issues, and fixes when it launches. To disable this check, clear this check box; you can get updates whenever you want: Help > Check for Updates. |
|
Report False Positive: Encrypt files |
This setting applies to Report false positive test results. AppScan will encrypt selected variant information files that have been zipped, before attaching them to a new post in your default e-mail client. Clear this check box if the email you want to send is to anywhere other than theAppScan® support team. |
|
Run Scan Expert before Scan |
(Selected by default) When selected, Scan Expert runs automatically whenever you run a full scan (Explore and Test), but not when you select Explore Only or Test Only. |
|
Include advisory training videos |
For some of the Advisories, short training videos are available that can be embedded in the Advisory tab for viewing when you view the advisory. Deselect if you need to reduce file size. |
|
Fix Recommendation Settings |
If your application does not use one or more of the environments listed, you do not need to see fix recommendations that are specific to those environments. Clear the check boxes of any environments (.NET / Java EE / PHP) that are not relevant to your application. |
