The File Import scan module reads files from a folder path instead of addressing a system on the network. It belongs to the Other category. Instead of targets and credentials the wizard requires a folder path: Basics › Path Selection › Schedule › Summary.

Specifying the folder path

The Path Selection step requires an absolute path – a local path such as C:\Import\ or a share such as \\Server\Share\. A relative path is not accepted.
Only the form of the path is checked. Whether the folder is actually reachable only shows when the job runs.
Schedule and summary follow the standard path – see Creating a Scan Job.
