You can add and edit filters on the root connection node to a file share, which will be applied to all sub-folders and files under that connection. You may for example, only one to include files with a certain file extensions or files that have been modified after a certain date. When a filter is added, it will be applied to any new migration actions that are initiated from that connection. Previously existing/configured migration actions will not have these filters applied to them.
Filters that are added and applied to a root file share connection will become default settings in the Filter Options tab. Any changes to Filter Options will be applied to the current migration, but will not change the filters on the root connection node.

§Number of Files by Size
§Number of Files by Created Year
§Number of Files by Modified Year
§Number of Files by Created Month for Current Year

§Total Number of Directories - A recursive count of all the directories below the selected node.
§Total Number of Files - A recursive count of all files in all directories below the selected node.
§Number of Files by Directory - A count of all files below each directory. This count is limited to a depth of one level.
·The Migration Report provides a condensed account of what files have been migrated to the target SharePoint instance, the locations the content has been migrated to, and the date of the migration. The following data is included:
§Files Migrated by Site - An account of how many files were migrated to each SharePoint site, and the first and last date for migrations to that site.
§Files Migrated by Destination Library - A count of the number of files/documents that have been migrated into each target side document library. Only document libraries that have had content migrated into them will be listed.
§Files Migrated by Month - A count of how many files/documents have had content migrated into them for each month.
§Files Migrated by Year - A count of how many files/documents have had content migrated into them for each year.
