Filtering code issues - Amazon Q Developer

Filtering code issues

Note

You can only filter code issues in JetBrains IDEs and Visual Studio Code.

When you filter code issues, only issues that meet the selected criteria are shown in the Code Issues panel. You can filter the issues based on their severity so you only see issues with the selected severity in the panel.

You can also control how code issues are organized in the Code Issues panel. You can group issues based on severity or based on their file location.
