Change the scan name in Visual Studio

You can rename a scan from the name Veracode assigned to it during scanning. For example, you might need to add a unique identifier to each scan name for tracking purposes.

You perform this task in the Custom Workflow window.

note

After renaming a scan, you must start the scan from the Custom Workflow window to retain the custom name. If you start a scan outside the Custom Workflow window, such as from the top-level menu, or close the window, the scan name reverts to the dynamically-generated name that Veracode assigned to it. To revert to the previous scan name without exiting the Custom Workflow window, select Sync.

To complete this task:

1. In Visual Studio, select Veracode Static Analysis > Advanced Options > Custom Workflow.

2. In the Scan Name field, edit the scan name value. For example: ID-4214-MyApp

   In the Custom Workflow window, you can now run Build + Package or switch between sandboxes or the policy scan while retaining the custom name.

3. If you want to run a scan, select Run Scan in the Custom Workflow window to retain the custom name.
