Use the Edit Explanation Notes window to add or change the explanation notes associated with this security check. You can specify a different explanation note for each finding on each affected SQL Server instance.
Explanation notes let you clarify why a specific finding has been found. For example, you may need to justify why a high or medium risk finding should be ignored due to a special configuration or need in your environment.
When a finding is explained, SQL Secure regards the finding as "ok" and changes the status of the security check in the assessment report card. If you do not want the finding to be regarded as "ok" , enter the appropriate note but leave the Explained option unchecked.
You can copy explanation notes from one assessment to another when you compare the assessment security checks.
