Use this scope

This check box enables or disables the exclusion of the scope when the task is executed.

If this check box is selected, the application excludes this scope during task execution.

If this check box is cleared, the application includes this scope during task execution. You can later exclude this scope from scanning by selecting the check box.

The check box is selected by default.

File system, access protocol and path

Entry field for the path to the local directory that you want to exclude from the inventory. You can use masks to specify the path.

You can use the * (asterisk) character to create a file or directory name mask.

You can indicate a single * character to represent any set of characters (including an empty set) preceding the / character in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/*/file or /dir/*/*/file.

You can indicate two consecutive * characters to represent any set of characters (including an empty set and the / character) in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/**/file*/ or /dir/file**/.

The ** mask can be used only once in a directory name. For example, /dir/**/**/file is an incorrect mask.

You can use a single ? character to represent any one character in the file or directory name.

The field must not be blank.

Masks

The list contains name masks of the objects that the application excludes from scan.

You can add, edit, or delete masks.

Clicking the Delete button removes the selected item from the table.

This button is available if at least one item is selected in the table.

The selected element's settings are changed in a separate window.

Clicking the Add button opens a window where you can specify the new item settings.
