All available scan targets are listed on the left-hand side of the dialog. To the right, the directory to be scanned in the currently selected scan target can be specified and, in the case of cloud/remote targets, the access data for the connection can also be entered there. The currently selected path is displayed in the input field at the bottom of the dialog. Paths (or URLs) can also be entered in this field to select the path to be analyzed as quickly as possible. Click on the button next to it to start the scan.

Specifying the path to be scanned

The content displayed next to the scan targets results from the selected scan type and allows you to specify a specific path and, if necessary, authentication data.

Drives & Directory

For these two scan targets, the corresponding drive or directory can be selected in the list or in the directory tree. Double-click on a drive or folder to start the scan immediately.

Outlook: Mailbox

Here you can select the mailbox to be analyzed.

Outlook: Subpath (optional)

A path or folder within the mailbox can be selected for the scan here. This means that the entire mailbox is not scanned, but only the corresponding subpath.

SharePoint: Server name

The URL of the corresponding server to be scanned (e.g. for SharePoint: "https://testserver.sharepoint.com") is entered in this field.

SharePoint: Path (optional)

The subpath on the specified server (e.g. "sites/general" for SharePoint) can be entered in the path field in order to analyze only this path and other sub-paths of it.
