Manage a Project

Perform project managements tasks, such as delete a project, create a project template, and manage a composite project.

You can perform additional management tasks in the main Projects page or in the Projects page of a composite project by clicking the

icon in a project's row and choosing one of the options:

Choose Delete to delete the project along with all the vulnerability detections collected for the project. A confirmation message is displayed.

Note: You can't delete the predefined default project.
For regular projects only:
- Choose Create template from project if you want to use this project's configuration as a template.
- Choose Delete archived vulnerabilities to bulk delete all archived vulnerabilities in this project.
To manage regular projects in a composite project, open this composite project. A list of currently included projects is displayed. You can do the following:
- Click Add project, select one or more projects in the dropdown box, and click Save.
- From the menu in the project's row, choose View to open this project, or Remove to remove this project from the composite.
  Note: This project will continue to exist as a regular project.

Automation with APIs

You can automate some of these tasks by using Seeker APIs. For the detailed API reference, click (Web API) in the main menu.

/api/{ver}/projects/{key}/reset PUT: Resets a project, which means deleting all the vulnerability detections for this project but keeping all the configurations.
