Selecting and excluding from on-demand scanning areas of the SharePoint structure

You can specify areas of the SharePoint structure to be scanned during an on-demand scan task. You can also exclude individual areas of the SharePoint structure from scanning.

To define the scan scope in a SharePoint structure:

1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the node corresponding to the necessary SharePoint server. Then select the On-demand scan node.
2. In the list of tasks displayed in the workspace, select the on-demand scan task that you want to modify. Click the Change button to open the Task settings window on the Scan scope tab.
3. Specify the scan scope in the SharePoint structure in one of the following ways:
   • In the SharePoint server structure tree, select check boxes corresponding to the SharePoint structure areas that you want to include in the scan scope. All check boxes are selected by default (all available SharePoint structure areas are scanned during the on-demand scan task).

     The tree only displays the SharePoint structure areas, for which administrator access is allowed to the account used to start the application services.

   • Add SharePoint structure areas manually. To do this, in the Additional web addresses section, perform the following actions:
     1. Click the Add button. In the window that opens, enter the path to the area that you want to add and click OK.

        The following types of paths are supported:

        • http://<SharePoint portal name>.local/content/;
        • https://<SharePoint portal name>.local:8080/content/file.txt;
        • http://<SharePoint portal name>/.

        To remove an area, select one in the list and click the Delete button.

     2. Select the check box opposite the path to a SharePoint structure area, and select Include in the drop-down list.
     3. Clear the check box opposite the path to a SharePoint structure area, and select Exclude in the drop-down list.
4. Click OK to save the changes and close the window.
