The Pinning Filter page allows you to create a new pinning filter or select an existing pinning filter to apply to the job. A pinning filter specifies whether specific files or files in a particular directory are always stubbed or always local on an edge participant. A pinning filter similar is to a utilization policy—it can be applied to multiple jobs. If there is a conflict between a pinning filter and utilization policy (where, for example, you might have something set to be always stubbed), the pinning filter will take precedence. Pinning filters are optional.
