Specify Omit Criteria

Omit filters omit the defined criteria from the filter they are associated with. Use DMM Template Editor to create an omit filter.

To specify omit criteria

1. Open DMM Template Editor from the Start menu.

   DMM Template Editor opens.

2. Click the Filters branch.

   The Filters page appears.

3. Click the Locations tab.

   The fields on the Locations tab appear.

4. Click Add in the Omit the Following Folders group box.

   The Omit Folder dialog appears.

5. Enter a path or use the Browse button in the Path to Omit field to specify the folder you want to omit from the filter search.

   Note: Clear the Omit all subfolders check box if you do not want to omit the subfolders of the specified folder from the filter search.

6. Click Create Filter.

   The filter you created matches the criteria defined and searches everywhere but in the omitted path. This omit criteria is specific only to the defined filter.
