Target List Options Tab

This is where you can change options that are specific to a certain Batch Wizard target list. With some options, default values can be overridden for a specific target list. Changing options here will affect only the currently active target list and will not affect any other target lists.

File Options

HTML report filename (root page) - Specify the root page (should include full path information) of the HTML report. Specifying a report filename here will override the default report filename in the Batch Wizard Options for the currently active target list only.
Use external CSS file to change look - Specify the CSS file (should include full path information) to use for the HTML report. Specifying a CSS file here will override the default CSS file in the Batch Wizard Options for the currently active target list only. (New v5.50)
HTML report footer filename - Specify the footer (should include full path information) for the HTML report. Specifying a footer filename here will override the default footer in the Batch Wizard Options for the currently active target list only. The comments in the source of a Batch Wizard report can be viewed to see what the default footer is. It is the default footer part of the report that will be replaced if a file is specified here. (New v6.50)

Other Options

Do not process targets matching these strings - Specify a list of strings, separated by semicolons. If a target matches one of these strings then it is not processed. The full target URL or, if a file target, the full path and filename (like c:\html\index.html) is used in the comparison. This allows you to exclude certain folders or documents from being processed for the currently active target list only. The wildcard character "*" (an asterisk) may be used at the beginning and/or end of each string. For example, to exclude all documents in a certain folder/directory, specify http://www.domain.com/directory/*. To exclude all documents named donotvalidate.html, specify *donotvalidate.html. (New v5.50; wildcards new v6.50)
NOTE: In v6.01 and previous versions, the above option was called "Do not process targets beginning with these strings". For the same behavior in v6.50 and above, add an asterisk (*) to each string that was specified in the v6.01 option. For example, if the v6.01 string was http://www.domain.com/excludethisdir/, then the new string (to get the same behavior) for v6.50 and above would be http://www.domain.com/excludethisdir/*.
Do not check links matching these strings - Specify a list of strings, separated by semicolons. If a link (after being converted to an absolute link) matches one of these strings then it is not checked and does not appear in the link check results. This allows you to exclude certain links from being processed for the currently active target list only. The wildcard character "*" (an asterisk) may be used at the beginning and/or end of each string. For example, to exclude checking links in a certain folder/directory, specify http://www.domain.com/directory/*. This option has no effect if link checking is not enabled. (New v7.00)
Targets matching these strings are case insensitive - Specify a list of strings, separated by semicolons. This overrides the default value if it is anything other than an empty string. If a target matches one of these strings then it is compared to other targets with a case insensitive compare. This allows one to specify servers that are case insensitive. The wildcard character "*" (an asterisk) may be used at the beginning and/or end of each string. For example, if the server "www.domain.com" is a Microsoft Windows server and is case insensitive, then specify http://www.domain.com/* or *www.domain.com* so that the Batch Wizard knows that http://www.domain.com/page.html is the same document as http://www.domain.com/PAGE.HTML. This will prevent the Batch Wizard from checking the same document twice. Specify only "*" (without the quotes) to compare all targets case insensitively. (New v6.50)
