Occasionally, you need to allow exceptions to file screening. For example, you might want to block video files from a file server, but you need to allow your training group to save the video files for their computer-based training. To allow files that other file screens are blocking, create a file screen exception.
A file screen exception is a special type of file screen that overrides any file screening that would otherwise apply to a folder and all its subfolders in a designated exception path. That is, it creates an exception to any rules derived from a parent folder.
|
Note |
|
You cannot create a file screen exception on a parent folder where a file screen is already defined. You must assign the exception to a subfolder or make changes to the existing file screen. |
You assign file groups to determine which file types will be allowed in the file screen exception.
