A better pattern management experience π€©
We’ve been listening to our customers: it’s been difficult to share pattern configurations, ensure standardization and adapt your configuration as you scale. With this updated user experience:
- You can now filter the patterns of a tool by language, and you can also Enable/Disable ALL patterns at once, per Language, Category, or a combination of the two! Learn moreΒ about pattern filters.
We will also be adding a functionality to help with standardizing patterns across the whole organization.
Ignore issues permissions management for all providers
This feature is now available for all Git providers, it provides a way for you to define who can change analysis configurations by setting the lowest permission required by a user of your organization to be able to ignore issues. Learn more aboutΒ roles and permissions for synced orgs.
