Download deviating paths list
To enhance security around file management, this feature helps system administrators identify file paths that deviate from configured file locations, ensuring better control over file access.
In System settings > File locations, on the action panel, Download deviating paths list allows system administrators to export a list of file paths that deviate from the configured file locations within the active property set.
The exported file is a zipped text file containing paths stored in the pathname table that are not relative to a defined file location but instead use full paths (e.g., HTTP URLs, UNC paths, or Linux-style paths). This list helps administrators identify and manage these paths, particularly for on-premise environments where access restrictions may apply.
To ensure proper functionality, administrators should review the exported paths and either add them to the Allowed deviating paths field (available L119) in File Locations or relocate files to supported locations.
 | • This action should be performed separately for each property set. • This action identifies only deviating paths used in file fields. Other locations, such as report templates and web content, site CSS and JavaScript (Self-Service/PSS), may also contain file references that require validation. |
