## Global Settings

ScanMail uses Quarantine to move actionable messages to a quarantine directory, replace the targeted files, and deliver the remaining messages to the original recipient.
You can configure ScanMail to quarantine or backup email messages when it detects a policy incident. You can set the quarantine or backup folder for each policy individually from the Action Settings screen, or you can specify a global directory.
When you specify a global quarantine or backup directory, ScanMail moves all files that it quarantines or backs up as a result of a policy incident to the directory that you specify.
For details on global advanced scan actions, see Advanced Scan Action Options.
To configure the Global Settings, click Data Loss Prevention → DLP Policies → Global Settings.

| ##### Note You must click Apply to All to configure the new directories. If you click Save, ScanMail only saves directory paths that you typed, but they will not be applied.
