Viewing a Summary of Open-Source Evidence in a Given File

The Evidence Summary tab on the File Details tab in the Analysis Workbench provides a summary of the open-source and third-party evidence identified for a given scanned file (binary or non-binary). You can use this information to write review comments in new or existing inventory items associated with this file. The Evidence Summary tab lists the string-based scan results (and result totals) for each of the following evidence types:

•
