Check this checkbox to detect the computer hardware.

Update objects in the tree

Check this checkbox, if you want the hardware objects to be saved automatically to the Objects tree.

Detect software

Check this checkbox to detect the computer software.

Normal (registry, services and selected files)

If you use Normal detection, the system will first detect data from the Windows registry and the information on files that are launched from the Start menu and from the Desktop. This option is quicker and usually fully sufficient in practice.

Complete (registry and all files on local hard drives)

If you use Full detection, the system will detect data from the Windows registry, as well as the information on all executable files on all hard drives. This may take some time.

Include files

Enter the mask for folder and file names to be searched within the detection.

For example, if you only want to scan files with the exe and dll file extensions, enter the mask "*.exe;*.dll".

The exe, com, dll, ocx, drv and scr file extensions are scanned by default.

Skip files

Enter the mask for folder and file names to be skipped within the detection.

For example, if you want to skip the folder System Volume Information, enter "*\System Volume Information\*".

If there is a collision between the Include files and Skip files masks, the Skip files mask has priority.

Update Installation Register

Check this checkbox, if you want the data on software found to be saved automatically in the Installations register.

Options

Use different detection methods

Check this checkbox, if you want to use one method for hardware detection and a different one for software detection.

Restore settings of all computers

Check this checkbox, if you want to restore detection settings for all computers in the Asset Management. All individual detection settings for computers will be removed and these settings will be used for any future detections.

Automatic detection planning

Hardware and software detection period

Enter the number of days to elapse between the previous and the next automatic detection. If you enter 0, the detection planning will be disabled and no detections will be repeated.
