By default, the application places Investigation exports in the Downloads folder of the logged in user, on the machine where that user is accessing the application. When you designate a Local Folder path, the application also stores all Investigation exports in the specified folder on the application server.

When you add shared folders, they appear in a table at the bottom of the page.

Shared Folder table on the Folders Settings page

The Shared Folders table has the following columns:

  • Display Name – The name of the shared folder as displayed in the application
  • Path to the Shared folder – The path to the shared folder where the application stores subscription reports
  • Credential Profile – Name of the Credential Profile
  • Access – The users that can save their subscription exports to the shared folder
  • Last Time tested – Date timestamp when the application last tested the shared folder to ensure correct configuration

Additional Options

When you hover over a row within the Shared Folders table, three additional options appear:
