When a Unified project is downloaded, all the analysis and rule settings are delivered to the local environment so that local analysis can be performed in the same way as for the original desktop project. In addition, baseline and suppression information is supplied from the Perforce QAC Dashboard project so that the display of local diagnostics (including those from local changes) can be filtered.
It is now possible to amend a existing project configuration, just as for any other Perforce QAC project. You can, for example, change the Dataflow Settings and the other configuration settings for the parser components (although there will potentially be differences in analysis output when compared with that of the initial Perforce QAC Dashboard snapshot and the supplied baseline/suppression).
