Create a File Server or SharePoint repository definition

Configure a File Server or SharePoint repository for scanning.

You can use regex in Perl syntax when specifying include or exclude parameters for folders, rather than using a specific full path.

For include entries, specify the path prefix, such as \\server or \\server\share\folder. The regular expression must be an exact match of the path suffix.
For exclude entries, folders that match the path is skipped entirely from the scan.

In ePO - On-prem, select one of the following:

Click the Definitions tab.
In the left pane, under Repositories, select the type of repository.
Select Actions → New Item.
Enter a name, select the credentials to use, and configure at least one Include definition.
(File Server repositories) Configure at least one Include entry.
1. Select the Prefix Type.
2. In the Prefix field, enter the UNC path, single IP address, or IP address range.
  Note
  The UNC path can be the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (\\myserver1.mydomain.com) or the local computer name (\\myserver1). You can add both versions to a single definition. Multiple entries are parsed as logical OR.
3. (Optional) Enter a regular expression for matching folders to scan.
4. Click Add.
(SharePoint repositories) Configure at least one Include entry.
1. Select the Include type.
2. Configure one or more URLs.
  Note
  The SharePoint Server option uses only one URL. The host name is the NetBIOS name of the server unless Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) is configured on the server. For information about AAM, see the SharePoint documentation from Microsoft.
  - To specify a site — End the URL with a slash (http://SPServer/sites/DLP/).
  - To specify a subsite — Use the subsite ending with a slash (http://SPserver/sites/DLP/Discover/).
  - To specify a web application — Use only the web application name and port in the URL (http://SPServer:port).
  - To specify a list or document library — Use the complete URL up to the default view of the list (http://SPServer/sites/DLP/Share%20Documents/Default.aspx).
    Note
    You can look up the default view URL in the list or library settings page. If you do not have permission to view this, contact your SharePoint administrator.
3. If you configured a Sites list URL, click Add.

1. Under Include entry, select SharePoint server.
