2. Open the drop-down list in the upper left part of the window and select Tree-view.
3. In the context menu of the Network node:
   • Select Add network folder, if you want to add a network folder to the scan scope.
   • Select Add network file, if you want to add a network file to the scan scope.
4. Enter the path to the network folder or file in UNC format and press the ENTER key.
5. Select the check box next to the newly added network object to include it in the scan scope.
6. If necessary, change the security settings for the added network object.
7. Click the Save button.

The modified task settings are saved.
