### Signature Details

A signature is an XML document that identifies potential problems in your domain. The Signature Details editor in the Document Pane provides more information about each signature.

To open a Signature Details editor, double-click a signature in the Signature Explorer or Bundle Explorer.

#### Signature Details Tabs

On the bottom of the Signature Details editor are the following tabs for the different Signature Details representations. Please note that these representations are read only:

- Overview - provides information about the signature and how it was created. It contains these sections:

- General Information - the signature identifier, name, publication date, and severity level (Critical, Warning, or Informational).
- Description - an explanation of the signature in plain language, from the actual signature XML file itself.
- Target - the XPath expression used to match the signature with the target domain's Domain Inventory.

- Source - provides the actual XML source for the signature. It includes the raw data for each signature, and can be copied to your paste buffer or printed with the context menu. You can access the context menu by right-clicking inside the Signature Details editor.
- Report - provides all the information contained in the Overview tab in a printer friendly format. It can also be copied into your paste buffer or printed with the context menu.

#### Signature Details Outline View

When the Outline View is open and the Signature Details editor is active, you can use the Outline View to control what the Signature Details editor displays. Clicking the Overview, Source, and Report nodes in the Outline View brings the corresponding tabs of the Signature Details editor to the forefront. Expanding the Outline View Source node enables you to select specific XML tag names, causing the Signature Details editor to jump to those tags and hightlight them.
