Each time the results of a new code scan are uploaded, the results are processed and alerts are added to the repository. To prevent duplicate alerts for the same problem, {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} uses fingerprints to match results across various runs so they only appear once in the latest run for the selected branch. This makes it possible to match alerts to the right line of code when files are edited.
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} uses the `partialFingerprints` property in the OASIS standard to detect when two results are logically identical. For more information, see the "[partialFingerprints property](https://docs.oasis-open.org/sarif/sarif/v2.1.0/cs01/sarif-v2.1.0-cs01.html#_Toc16012611)" entry in the OASIS documentation.
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} uses the `partialFingerprints` property in the OASIS standard as an input in the computation of whether two results are logically identical. Specifically, the `primaryLocationLineHash` is used as a stable intra-file location, which is combined with the repository, file path, and rule data to form the full identity. For more information, see the "[partialFingerprints property](https://docs.oasis-open.org/sarif/sarif/v2.1.0/cs01/sarif-v2.1.0-cs01.html#_Toc16012611)" entry in the OASIS documentation.
SARIF files created by the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_workflow %} or using the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_runner %} include fingerprint data. If you upload a SARIF file using the `upload-sarif` action and this data is missing, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} attempts to populate the `partialFingerprints` field from the source files. For more information about uploading results, see "[Uploading a SARIF file to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}](/github/finding-security-vulnerabilities-and-errors-in-your-code/uploading-a-sarif-file-to-github#uploading-a-code-scanning-analysis-with-github-actions)."

| `level`| **Optional.** The severity of the result. This level overrides the default severity defined by the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} uses the level to filter results by severity on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
| `message.text`| **Required.** A message that describes the result. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} displays the message text as the title of the result. Only the first sentence of the message will be displayed when visible space is limited.
| `locations[]`| **Required.** The set of locations where the result was detected up to a maximum of 10. Only one location should be included unless the problem can only be corrected by making a change at every specified location. **Note:** At least one location is required for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} to display a result. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} will use this property to decide which file to annotate with the result. Only the first value of this array is used. All other values are ignored.
| `partialFingerprints`| **Required.** A set of strings used to track the unique identity of the result. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} uses `partialFingerprints` to accurately identify which results are the same across commits and branches. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} will attempt to use `partialFingerprints` if they exist. If you are uploading third-party SARIF files with the `upload-action`, the action will create `partialFingerprints` for you when they are not included in the SARIF file.

A `codeFlow` object describes a pattern of code execution used to detect a result. If code flows are provided, {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} will expand code flows on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} for the relevant result. For more information, see the [`location` object](#location-object).
| `relatedLocations[]`| A set of locations relevant to this result. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} will link to related locations when they are embedded in the result message. For more information, see the [`location` object](#location-object).
