### Signature Annotations

Signature Annotations enable you to tag a detected signature with one or more persistent annotations about that signature.

An annotation contains the following information:

- Type — This indicates the Annotation Type. There are two types: Ignore and Flag.
- Name — (Optional) This is a text field into which you can enter a short name for this annotation.
- Comment — This is a text field into which you can enter comments or other notes about the signature.
- Timestamp — This records the date and time the annotation was created.
- Domains — This specifies the Annotation Target for this annotation for this signature. This can be All Domains, This Domain, or This Evaluation.
- Evaluations — (Automatic) This specifies the Evaluation(s) to which this annotation applies for this signature.

You can use the Annotations Wizard to create, edit, and delete annotations. For instructions, see Signature Annotations on page 64 in Tasks.

In addition, you can use Signature Filters to specify which annotated signatures are to be displayed in the Signature Explorer, Bundle Explorer, and Evaluation Summaries. For instructions, see "Filter Annotated Signatures" on page 68 in Tasks. For complete instructions on using filters, see Filter Signatures on page 63 in Tasks.
