When Identity Finder finds matches in a location that you do not care about, you may wish to use the Ignore This Location feature to prevent that location from being searched in the future. For example, there may be a website for which you use a public login or a specific file you don't want to search. When this happens, you can tell Identity Finder to ignore those locations for the current and future searches. Ignored locations are added to an approved exception list, the Identity and Location Ignore List, so you never see them again.
There are three ways to ignore a location:
Single click the result with the left mouse button to highlight it and click the "Ignore" button on the Main ribbon, then highlight and left-click on "This Location."
Single click the result with the right mouse button to highlight it and bring up a context menu, then highlight "Ignore" then highlight and left-click on "This Location."
Manually add the Location to the Ignore List from within the Settings dialog box.
Because ignored location may specify a place with sensitive information, the list is stored in a secured, encrypted data file with a password of your choice. When you save the list for the first time, you will be prompted to provide this password. If you have selected the "Load Unique Identity Match Data on Startup" option, you will be prompted for this password each time you run Identity Finder. If you have selected the "Save Unique Identity Match Data on Exit" option, the password will be used to save your information each time you exit Identity Finder.
Note: Locations that you add to the Ignore List during a search will be ignored for the remainder of the current search.
Note: You can always add or remove locations to your Ignore List by Managing Your Identity and Location Ignore List via the "Add/Remove Information" button on the What to Search for ribbon.
