### Evaluation Wizard

The Evaluation Wizard enables you to evaluate one or more domains.

There are several different ways to invoke the Evaluation Wizard:

- Press Ctrl+Shift+E.
- Click the Evaluate button on the Main Toolbar.
- Select New > Evaluation from the File menu.
- Double-click a domain in the Active Domains Table.
- Double-click a domain in the Domain Explorer.
- Right-click a domain in the Domain Explorer, or anywhere in the Domain Explorer, and select Evaluate from the pop-up context menu.

The Evaluation Wizard dialog box contains the following data entry fields:

- The domains to evaluate - click the domain you want to evaluate. Use the Ctrl or Shift keys when clicking to select more than one domain. Please note that any domain selected with the Domain Explorer or Active Domains Table active when the Evaluation Wizard is invoked will be preselected already.
- The bundle to evaluate - for each domain, you can select one bundle to evaluate. The Default Signatures bundle is selected by default. To change the bundle, click the bundle name and select a different bundle from the drop down list.
- The domain login credentials - if you checked the Remember username/password check box when activating or modifying the domain, the username and password are already filled in. Otherwise, the domain is displayed in italics, and you must enter the username and password in the Domain Credentials section.

If you have multiple domains selected, every one must have its credentials filled in before you can launch the evaluation. If any of the selected domains are missing credentials, a message at the top of the dialog box says that the required credentials are missing and the Finish button is greyed out.

- Whether to remember the username and password - if you check the Remember username/password check box, you won't have to enter domain login credentials for any future domain access operations.
- Whether to create a shortcut - if you check the Create Shortcut check box, the domain and bundle evaluated are saved as a shortcut for future evaluations. If evaluating multiple domains, you must create a shortcut for each domain and bundle pair separately.

When you check Create Shortcut, a default shortcut name is created in the text box next to it. The default shortcut name is in the form, "<bundle name> in <domain name>". You can change the shortcut name by editing the text box.

When you have finished editing the Evaluation Wizard dialog box, you can click the Finish button to launch the evaluation. A progress indicator tracks the progress as the evaluation executes.

The successful completion of the Evaluation Wizard results in:

- The Progress View shows the time it finished for each domain evaluated.
- A new Evaluation Summary is opened in the Document Pane.
- The Domain Explorer is modified as follows:
- If you checked the Remember username/password check box, the domain node icon is decorated to indicate that the login credentials have been persisted.
- A new Evaluation Summary entry is added to the Evaluation History folder for each domain evaluated.
- A new Domain Inventory entry is added to the Inventory History folder for each domain evaluated.
- If you selected the Create Shortcut check box, the shortcut is added to both the Shortcut Explorer and the Shortcuts Table.
