3. Choose a function to be applied to the folders that will be selected (*Don’t filter*, *Include*, or *Exclude)*.
4. Tick the folder checkbox where you want to apply the setting chosen above.

Use the arrow icon :inlineImage[]{src="https://support.deselect.com/hc/article_attachments/17457720254737" alt caption width="1200" height="1200"}to expand folders and ensure you are not missing any subfolders from being checked when setting inclusion or exclusion in the Admin Panel.

:::hint{type="warning" indent="1"}
Avoid including the* DESelect* folder in your selection as this is a system folder.
:::

5. Click **Save **to finish.

:::hint{type="success"}
If you have many folders, we recommend using the *Include* function and checking only the folders where the Data Extensions you and your team will be using. This allows Unaric Segment to only scan the included folders you have selected instead of going through everything in your SFMC environment, resulting in faster data processing.

:::hint{type="info"}
By default, when created, folders' visibility checkbox is unchecked.
