The Dossier Reports (Metadata) report provides a comprehensive, one-page report listing additional report information and metadata obtained when conducting a threat indicator search on a threat indicator. Reports display web content related to the indicator gathered from around the web. These may be malicious, as they are unfiltered and listed to give an overall perspective on the nature of this indicator. Reports include the following information:
- TITLE: The title of the report sourced from the web.
- SNIPPET: A brief snippet or blurb describing the subject matter discussed in the body of the report.
- LINK: The link to the online version of the report of interest.

- On the Add to Custom List page, select what custom list or lists from among the list of available custom lists to add the domain or IP address by clicking the blue arrow
