APTARE File Analytics profiles and categorizes collected data by file type (filename extension). This categorized data is listed in the File Types report, which lists the top 50 file types for the selected volumes/shares.
Note: The File Types report is an aggregation at the volume level of only the top 50 file extensions. For a complete list of all profiled file types, use the Export List checkbox, available in the File Types report and several other File Analytics reports; or from the Tools menu list, select: Tools > File List > Export. File List Export represents all filenames profiled for the Portal. Typically, if multiple volumes/shares are selected in the report scope, the File Types report will list less types than what is listed in the exported output.
