File Groups


File Groups are handy, predefined groupings of one or more file types, which makes it easy to add them for various CCS functions such as adding them to Exclusions, HIPS Rules, Auto-Containment and so on. CCS ships with a set of predefined File Groups and if required users can add new File Groups, edit and manage all the groups.

  • The 'File Groups' panel can be accessed by clicking Security Settings > File Rating > File Groups from the Advanced Tasks interface.




You can use the search option to find a specific name in the list. 

To use the search option, click the search icon  at the far right in the column header.




  • Click the chevron on the left side of the column header and select the search criteria from the drop-down.
  • Enter partly or fully the name of the item as per the selected criteria in the search field.
  • Click the right or left arrow at the far right of the column header to begin the search.
  • Click the icon in the search field to close the search option.
