Ignoring rule results

Results that do not need to be fixed can be marked so that they are not listed in the results the next time the analysis configuration runs.

After evaluating a rule result, you might determine that a particular instance of a rule result does not need to be fixed.

In this case, you can mark the rule exception so that it is not listed in future analysis results.

On the result tab, locate the rule result that contains the rule exception to ignore. Right-click the rule result and select Ignore Result.

The following comment is an example of the comment line added to a Java source file to mark the line of Java source code to be ignored:
  //$ANALYSIS-IGNORE
Note: The ignore results feature is not supported for all languages; comment symbols vary by language.
