Configuring Signatures
Signature Shortcut Menu
Right-clicking inside the signature summary table in the Signatures policy displays a shortcut menu for
performing various functions on the selected signatures. Some commands appear only if you select a
single signature, while some commands can be used on more than one signature at a time; your changes
apply to all selected signatures. For more information about the Signatures policy, see Signatures Page,
page 38-4.
Additionally, the available commands differ depending on which cell you right click. Some commands
are available when right-clicking any cell, while others are specific to a single cell.
Tip When you use a right-click command to change the value in a cell of a Default signature, the signature
is converted to a Local signature in Device view or a shared-policy-specific signature in Policy view.
The following table explains the available commands.
