Artifact Issues
Description
The dashboard uses the digital thread to analyze your project artifacts and their traceability relationships. If an artifact is unsupported or has issues, it generates a warning or error during the analysis. The dashboard considers these warnings and errors as artifact issues. The Artifact Issues widget shows the number of artifact issues found during the analysis. Artifact issues can lead to incorrect metric results.

To view details about each artifact issue, including its source and severity, you can click the Artifact Issues widget to open the Artifact Issues tab. The Artifact Issues tab displays a table with columns showing the severity type of an artifact issue and additional information about the issue.

Fix artifact issues to help avoid incorrect metric results. For more information, see View Artifact Issues in Project.
