Configure Exclude Software

To configure a software not to be reported:

1. In the Configure Exclude Software table, click Insert to add a new row.
2. In the Pattern Type drop-down list, select Expandable expression or Regular expression.
3. Specify a software name.
4. Click OK.

For example, if you want the Inventory scanner not to scan for the Adobe products, configure the following settings in the Configure Exclude Software table:

"Pattern Type= Expandable expression; Software = Adobe*"

The Inventory scanner will not report the software with name beginning with "Adobe".

You can also add the automatically add entries to table in the following ways:

• Click the Add from Database button in the Configure Exclude Software table. The Add from Database option allows you to choose the software that has to be excluded from the list of software reported by the scanner. For more information, see Exclude Scanned Software.
  
  
• In the Configure Software Dictionary table (located in the Access Software Dictionary rule), select the software that you want to exclude during the next scan, and click the Exclude Software button.

To delete an entry from the Configure Exclude Software table, select the entry and click Delete.
