  • Scan for probable owners – Gathers file ownership information to determine the most probable owner of every resource
    • Limit maximum number of probable owners to return per folder [number] – Stops the collection of probable owners when it reaches the number provided
  • Scan for File Types – Gathers file type information within the audited folders
    • Limit maximum number of file types to return per folder [number] – Stops the collection of file types when it reaches the number provided per folder
    • Only return file types with these comma-separated values (without leading dots) – Enter the file types for the scan to return. The scan ignores any types not provided.
  • Collect tags/keywords from file metadata properties (this may significantly increase scan times) – Scans the files and collects metadata tags from Microsoft Office files
    • Include offline files – Scans network files that have the offline files feature enabled
    • Include MIP Protected Files – Scans for files protected by Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) that have sensitivity labels
      • This option is only available when you select the Enable scanning of files protected by Microsoft Information Protection checkbox on the Scan Settings page
    • Only collect tags/keywords with these comma-separated values (case-insensitive) – Limits the scan to the tags listed as comma-separated values

The FSAA scan collects the tags from the files and stores the information at the folder level, which provides a count for the number of occurrences of each tag.
