Editing and Managing Scenarios and Hosts › Filter Master Directory Files › Include Files

Include Files

When using Include files, only the files or file-types entered into the Filter box are included in the replication scenario, and only if they are selected (checked). You need to manually select the directories in which these file are stored, and if you manually clear a file check box, you override the Include files option.

To include files

1. On the Master Root Directories dialog, manually select the directories on which you want to apply the filter.

   Note: Alternatively, you can manually select the directory check box AFTER you enter the filter parameters.

2. Click the Include files option button at the top of the Master Root Directories dialog. The Filter box is enabled with an asterisk (*) wildcard.

3. Enter the file types you want to include in the Filter box using the appropriate filtering characters. For example, include all files ending with the extensions *.txt *.exe. Separate the extensions using a space.

   Note: Do NOT use a comma or a semi-colon to separate extensions. If a file name includes blanks, enclose the complete file name between quotation marks ("").

4. Click the Apply button to filter the directories you selected according to the filter parameters.

   The only files that are displayed on the right area are those that meet the filtering criteria.

5. [Optional] You can manually select or clear individual directories and files. This action overrides the Include files option regarding the individual directory or file.
6. Click OK to save your root directory selection and close the Master Root Directories dialog.
