  2. Click the Add MFT configurations button.
  3. In the Create new MFT config dialog, complete the following fields:

    Note: Folder names and folder paths you choose must comply with your operating system naming and path length conventions.
    Enter file pattern File name pattern for the EDX Edge to pick files matching the pattern from the outbound directory. Click Add to save your file pattern.

    You can use regular expressions to create file patterns. You can add multiple file patterns.

    If you do not have any restrictions on the file name pattern, add * as the default file pattern.
