Creating a file screen template
You can create a file screen template completely from scratch or by starting with one of the
existing templates and modifying it for your own specific needs. Templates can have the
following properties:
■ Active Or Passive Screens An active file screen prevents a user from saving files of
the specified type. A passive file screen only warns the user (and usually the adminis-
trator) and is useful for monitoring usage.
■ File Groups Define the files to be screened. File screens are based on file name
patterns and can include multiple file name matches in a group.
■ Path The root of the path in which the file screen will apply.
To create a new template, follow these steps:

Select File Screen Templates in the console tree of the File Server Resource Manager
console and then click Create File Screen Template in the Actions pane.

1.

To start with the settings of an existing template, select the template from the Copy
Properties From File Screen Template (Optional) list and then click Copy.

2.

3. Enter a Template Name, and then modify the settings of File Groups To Block, Active
Screening or Passive Screening as appropriate for your new template.

4. Specify any actions to take when the file screen is triggered.

5. Click OK when you've completed configuring the new file screen and it is available for
immediate use.
You can also create a new template by using the New-FsrmFileScreenTemplate cmdlet or
modify an existing template by using Set-FsrmFileScreenTemplate. The process is similar to the
one used when creating a new file screen. You first define the actions for the file screen, and
any new file groups (using the New-FsrmFileGroup cmdlet), saving them in variables, and then
use the variables in the New-FsrmFileScreenTemplate or Set-FsrmFileScreenTemplate cmdlets.
Alternately, you can pipe the groups and actions to the New-FsrmFileScreenTemplate or
Set-FsrmFileScreenTemplate cmdlets.

File screen notification actions
When a file screen is triggered, it can initiate multiple actions, as specified in the file screen.
There are four kinds of actions that can be triggered:
■ Email Message

Sends an email to the user or administrator that the event was

triggered
■ Event Log Creates an event log entry
■ Command Runs the command specified
■ Report

Runs one or more storage reports
