Dependency Scanning not triggering in GitLab CICD pipeline - gitlab

Question

I am new to GitLab and was trying to build a sample CICD pipeline. Following is my code:
variables:
REPO_NAME: devsecopscollab/my_test_repo
IMAGE_TAG: demo-app-1.0
include:
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
- template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
- Test
- Build
- Deploy
job1_runTests:
stage: Test
image: python:3.10.8
before_script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install make
script:
- make test
sast:
stage: Test
artifacts:
name: sast
paths:
- gl-sast-report.json
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
when: always
dependency_scanning:
stage: Test
variables:
CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true"
artifacts:
name: dependency_scanning
paths:
- gl-dependency-scanning-report.json
reports:
dependency_scanning: gl-dependency-scanning-report.json
when: always
job2_buildImage:
stage: Build
image: docker:20.10.21
services:
- docker:20.10.21-dind
variables:
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
before_script:
- docker login -u $DOCKERHUB_USER -p $DOCKERHUB_PASS
script:
- docker build -t $REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG .
- docker push $REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG
job3_deploy:
stage: Deploy
before_script:
- chmod 400 $SSH_KEY
script:
- ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i $SSH_KEY ubuntu#$PUBLIC_IP "
docker login -u $DOCKERHUB_USER -p $DOCKERHUB_PASS &&
docker ps -aq | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker stop | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rm &&
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 $REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG"
But my pipeline looks like in this image here (no dependency scanning stage is shown):
Is something wrong with this pipeline? Why is dependency scanning stage not visible?
Tried the above given code snippet and was expecting a dependency scanning stage visible on the pipeline.

Dependency scanning works only in ultimate plan. cf: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/327366

Also check this link https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/
to trigger the dependency scanning template is easer just use
include:
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
- template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
