Delete to remove the item or select Edit to modify the item.
To add another item to the list, you select Create New. This opens a dialog box in

• Intrusion protection predefined signatures list (see “Viewing the predefined
signature list” on page 413)
• Log and report log access list (see “Accessing Logs” on page 485)
