Step 3 - File Filters |
|
File Filter configuration allows you to specify file and folder path expressions to include and/or exclude from a file collaboration job, and is available by selecting File Filters from the tree node within the File Collaboration Configuration dialog.
File Filters are configured on a global basis within the PeerLink Hub, where individual configurations can be applied to multiple jobs without having to manually re-enter each part of the configuration. For more information on what exactly a file filter is, please see the Global File Filters page. For details on how to configure File Filter configurations within the PeerLink Hub, please see the section on Global File Filter Configuration.
The following screenshot shows how individual File Filter configurations can be applied to a single job.
Each global File Filter configuration will be displayed in the table on this page. If you need to create a new file filter configuration, or edit an existing configuration via the Global File Filter configuration screen, click on the Edit File Filter Configurations link. Once all necessary configurations are in place, check all that you would like to apply to the current job. Each checked item will be combined into one large filter when the job is run (by combining all exclusions and inclusions together). In general, you should have at least one default global file filter that is applied to all jobs and possibly other file filters that apply to specific jobs. However, for most environments, only a single default global file filter is necessary.
Once all File Filter configurations are set and selected to your liking, you can either save the configuration and exit the dialog, or you can continue with the configuration process by going to Step 4 - Conflict Resolvers.
