Appendix A — A Typical Scenario of Creating
and Using File Filtering Rule and Actions
This section provides a real-time scenario where you might want to create a file filtering rule
in Shared Resource and use this rule to specify actions such as notify the administrator, log,
and quarantine all Microsoft PowerPoint files being uploaded to your SharePoint server.
Task
1 From Policy Manager, click Shared Resource. The Shared Resources page appears.
2 Click the Filter Rules tab.

2 Click on a policy.
3 Click File Filtering, then select Create new rule from the Available rules drop-down
list.

it and what it does. For example, PPT_Block.
5 Select Enable file name filtering to filter files based on their file names.
6 In Take action when the file name matches, specify the names of the files that must be
quarantined, then click Add.

to filter any Microsoft PowerPoint files, type *.ppt.

according to their file type.
