How to remove local (C) drives from permissions reports (example: program files)

kgraham_64239

I used to be able to run file/folder reports that didn't show local drive information - it only showed networked drives.  I may have created a discovery incorrectly.

How can I remove the local "C" drive data from collecting?

Thank you,

    There are two ways to remove the local "C" drive data from collecting in file/folder reports:

    1. Remove the local drive from the discovery scope. To do this, open the discovery scope settings and remove the local drive from the list of drives to be scanned.
    2. Create a filter to exclude the local drive from the reports. To do this, create a new filter and add the following condition:
    Drive name != "C:"

    Once you have added the filter, it will be applied to all reports that use that filter.

    Here are the detailed steps for each method:

    Method 1: Remove the local drive from the discovery scope

    1. Open the discovery scope settings.
    2. Click on the Drives tab.
    3. Uncheck the checkbox next to the local drive (C:).
    4. Click on the Save button.

    Method 2: Create a filter to exclude the local drive from the reports

    1. Go to Reports > Manage filters.
    2. Click on the Create new filter button.
    3. Enter a name for the filter.
    4. In the Conditions section, click on the Add condition button.
    5. Select the Drive name condition.
    6. Select the Does not equal operator.
    7. Enter "C:" in the Value field.
    8. Click on the Add button.
    9. Click on the Save button.

    Once you have created the filter, you can apply it to any report by following these steps:

    1. Open the report that you want to apply the filter to.
    2. Click on the Filters button.
    3. Select the filter that you created in step 4.
    4. Click on the Apply button.

    The report will now only show data for the koows networked drives.

    I hope this helps!
