### Filter Signatures

You can use Signature Filters to specify which signatures are to be displayed in the Signature Explorer, Bundle Explorer, and Evaluation Summaries.

To apply Signature Filters, do the following:

1. Open the Filters dialog box.

- From the Signature Explorer or Bundle Explorer:

Click the Menu icon (small white delta in the upper right corner), and select Filters... from the context menu.

- From an Evaluation Summary:

Right-click on any signature in the Detected Signatures list, and select Filters... from the context menu.

2. Specify your filter settings.

Click a radio button to specify Show or Hide for each filter. The Signature Filters are as follows:

Name — Filter according to name. Specify all or a portion of a signature name to use as the filter criteria. This can be a character string or standard regular expression. Enter .* to filter all signatures. The default is Show all (.*).

Severity — Filter according to severity. Click a checkbox to select/deselect a severity level. These are: Critical, Warning, and Information. The default is Show all (all selected).

Type — Filter annotated signatures according to Annotation Type. Click a checkbox to select/deselect a type. There are two Annotation Types: Flag and Ignore. The default is Hide signatures with an Annotation Type of Ignore. For more information on Annotation Types, see Signature Annotations on page 22 in About BEA Guardian.

Annotation Name — Filter annotated signatures according to Annotation Name. Specify all or a portion of an Annotation Name to use as the filter criteria. This can be a character string or standard regular expression. Enter .* to filter all annotated signatures. The default is Show all (.*).

Comment — Filter annotated signatures according to annotation comment. Specify all or a portion of a comment to use as the filter criteria. This can be a character string or standard regular expression. Enter .* to filter all signatures. The default is Show all (.*).
