### Filter Annotated Signatures

You can use Signature Filters to specify which signatures to display in the Signature Explorer, Bundle Explorer, and Evaluation Summaries. Some filters apply specifically to annotated signatures and their attributes.

This section provides instructions for applying filters to annotated signatures, only. For complete instructions on using Signature Filters, see Filter Signatures on page 63.

To apply Annotation Filters, do the following:

1. Open the Evaluation Summary to which you want to apply the filter.
2. Open the Filter Configuration wizard.

In the Signatures List, right-click on a signature name and select Filters... from the context menu.

3. Specify your filter settings.

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

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.

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 a 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 (.*).

4. Click OK.

This applies your filter specifications and returns to the Guardian main window.
