Annotate Signature

To create an annotation and add it to a signature, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Signatures List containing the signature you want to annotate.
  2. The contents of a Signatures List may vary according to the context in which it occurs. Signatures Lists can be found in the following locations:

    • Evaluation Summary
    • Signature Explorer
    • Bundle Explorer
  3. Open the Annotations Wizard.
  4. Right-click on the signature title and select Annotations > Manage Annotations from the context menu.

  5. Click Add.
  6. This displays the Add dialog box.

  7. Select an Annotation Type.
  8. Select one of the following:

    • Ignore — Ignore this signature for the specified targets.
    • Flag — Flag this signature for the specified targets.
  9. (Optional) Enter a Name and Comment for the annotations.
  10. Select an Annotation Target.
  11. Click the down-arrow next to the Apply to field to display a drop-down menu of Annotation Targets. Select one of the following:

    • All Domains — Apply this annotation to this signature for all domains.
    • This Domain — Apply this annotation to this signature for this domain, only. This option is available only if you are annotating a signature in an Evaluation Summary.
    • This Evaluation — Apply this annotation to this signature in this evaluation, only. This option is available only if you are annotating a signature in an Evaluation Summary.
  12. Click Finish.
  13. This adds the new annotation to the Annotations list for the selected signature.
