# Signal List

Once you have loaded a dataset to your project, you have to select the signals you want to see visualised.

On the left side of the screen you have a list of all the signals.

By default, the signal list will show a dataset's signals. To see a dataset's functions, toggle the switch at the top of the signal list.

## Signal metadata

To see the metadata of a signal, hover over the signal name in the signal list.

For more information on how to setup signal metadata, see: [Database](/docs/marple-insight/user-manuals/database.md#signal-metadata).

## Add signals

To add signals to your plot, double click on the signal, or drag and drop the signal to the plot.

To find a signal, you can use the search box and do a fuzzy search in all available signals. If you make a typo, or do "t" instead of "T", the result will still appear.

## Signal List Settings

To change the appearance and organisation of your signal list, click on the settings wheel at the top right of the signal list.

This allows you to:

1. Enable or disable the alphabetical sorting of the signal list;
2. Show or hide the units of the signals;
3. Show the signals in a grouped, and select what sign should be used for the signal groups.
