# Naming rules

You can optionally add a name or short description to a rule to help identify it.

Note: You cannot add a name or short description to the rules on the Inspection tab of Inspection Policies.
In the policy editing views, the name is displayed in the Rule Name cell with the rule tag, and on the General tab of the Info pane. In the Logs view, in statistics, and in reports, the rule name is displayed instead of the rule tag in the Rule Tag column. If no name is specified, the rule tag is shown.

The maximum length of a name or description is 254 characters. The name does not have to be unique. Double-click the Rule Name cell in the editing view of a policy to edit the name text.

You can search for a specific rule by its name in the Search Rules view.
