Create an application profile

You must create an application profile before you can submit a scan to Veracode.

You can also create an application profile using the Applications API.

note

If a third party submits scans for your organization, see Request a third-party application scan for instructions on creating an application.

Before you begin:

You must have the Creator or Security Lead role.

To complete this task:

  1. In the Veracode Platform, select My Portfolio > Applications.

  2. Select Add New Application.

  3. Enter the application name.

  4. Optionally, enter a description.

  5. Select the business criticality of the application to your organization. The business criticality determines the default policy for the application. You can change it later, if necessary, by editing the profile.

  6. If you do not want to use the default policy, select a different policy from the dropdown.

  7. Select the business unit that manages the application. If it does not appear in the menu, an Administrator must add it.

  8. If you belong to any teams, select Edit below the list of teams to specify which teams can access the application.

  9. Enter the name and email address of the business owner. The business owner manages the application and receives all email notifications about it.

  10. Select your application settings. Available settings vary depending on your role, account settings, and Veracode subscription.

    • For Static Scan Dependencies, select whether you can choose dependent modules as top-level modules when configuring a static scan.
    • For Software Composition Analysis, select whether to enable Veracode Software Composition Analysis for the application.
    • For Next-Day Consultations, select whether to schedule next-day consultation calls with Veracode for the application.
  11. If you want to use tags to organize the profile, enter comma-separated values in the Tags field.

  12. To set a custom name for the application in the Archer data feed, enter an Archer application name.

    note

    This field is only available to Security Leads.

  13. If you want to track or analyze additional metadata for this application, enter values for up to 25 custom fields.

  14. Select Submit.
