Endpoint settings: the Advanced tab

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.7.x

Use the Advanced tab of the Settings > General > Endpoint page to configure applications or folders to decouple from Forcepoint DLP Endpoint drivers. These are typically applications that experience compatibility problems with the endpoint software.

Under Excluded Applications, use the Application/Folder field to enter the name of an application of folder to exclude.

For Windows endpoints, enter an executable filename in the form winword.exe (for Microsoft Word), or a folder name in the form \office15\ (for the entire Microsoft Office 2013 suite).

Do not include the drive letter.

For macOS endpoints, enter a case-sensitive application name like TextEdit or a case-sensitive full path such as:

/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit

Mac endpoints do not support relative folders.

Filenames cannot include spaces.

File and folder names must be in ASCII characters.

Do not use wildcards.

Select the operating system on which the application runs.

Click Add to add the application to the Excluded Applications list.

Repeat steps 1-3 for each application that you want to exclude.

Click Save.

Up to 30 applications and folders can be entered.

File access is monitored for the listed applications, but there is no monitoring or enforcement for other operations, like copy/cut/paste and printing.

After the updated profile is deployed to an endpoint machine, the machine must be rebooted for this setting to take effect.
