Select from the available list of networks, domains/workgroups, and computers.
Filter: If the Network tree contains a long list, you can filter by typing the first letter(s) of the computer names you want in the “Filter” field above the tree. This feature does not support wildcards.
Select All Filtered: click to highlight all machines located with the filter.
Add

Import
This button allows you to import a list of computers from a text file. This allows you to import long lists of computers for share discovery.
The text file (*.txt) must contain each computer name or IP address on a separate line.
Once you import, the DS-Client pings each address in the list. A warning pops up for any computer(s) that could not be reached.
Each computer that is added appears on a separate line in the “Selected items for Discovery” list.
Selected items for Discovery
Shows the list of items you have selected for share discovery.
Remove
Removes the highlighted item from the “Selected items for Discovery” list.
Clean share list
