# Endpoint Description

> Set a free-form description on a Syteca Endpoint to make it easier to find specific Endpointss when filtering by description as well as by name.

The **Endpoint description** is a free-form text field used as additional information about a Endpoint. It makes it easier to find specific Endpoints via filtering - Endpoints can be filtered by their descriptions in addition to filtering by their names.

<Note>
  **Applies to**: Windows Endpoints, macOS Endpoints, Linux C. The parameter behaves identically across all three platforms.
