Use the page to define custom file types.
Important: Custom file types and custom additions to predefined types are used in extension-based enforcement, but not true file type analysis. See Enforcement based on file
extension and Enforcement based on file analysis for more information.
Steps
-
Enter a unique File type name.
You can create a custom file type with the same name as a pre-defined file type in order to add additional file extensions to the existing file type.
-
Enter file extensions, one per line, in the File extensions list. You do not need to include the dot (“.”) before each extension.
-
Click OK to return to the Edit File Types screen. The new file type appears in the File Types list.
-
When you are finished working with file type definitions, click OK on the Edit File Types page. Changes are not implemented until you click Save
and Deploy.
