Saving Multiple Folder Tree Reports

Bulletin: 120407

Software Effected:
AccessReporter

Issue:
I currently have a number of folder trees saved for a report I ran in AccessReporter, but now I am required to run a report that will involve an entirely new list of folder trees. However, I don't want to lose my original list. How can I save this list and start a new list? Or Is there a way to generate a report from specific items in the report tree?


Solution:
At this moment saving folder tree structures or importing saved structures canot be done with AccessReporter.
However, This is a great idea that will be put into the next update of AccessReporter.

In the meantime, you can save folder tree structures or share lists manually:

Folders Tree:
In the working directory Drive:\Winzero\AccessReporter\ there is a file called control.ini
Just rename the this file and create a new blank control.ini file. Then start AccessReporterand add the new folder trees that you need.
AccessReporter uses this file to store the folder tree report options.

Control.ini is layed out as:
\\ServerName\Driveshare$\Folder
With one entry per line

Share Options:
The share report works the same way using the scontrol.ini file
Scontrol.ini is layed out as:
\\ServerName\ShareName
with one entry per line

The save and import saved feature will be added to the next version of AccessReporter v2.04
