The following table provides the XML tags for Sandbox, as well as the descriptions and default values where applicable.

XML tag	Description	Default value
<enabled>	Enable Sandbox Detection. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`
<type>	Specify the type of FortiSandbox unit.
<address>	Specify the IP address or FQDN of the FortiSandbox unit.
<response_timeout>	Specify the response timeout value in seconds. File access is allowed if FortiSandbox results are not received when the timeout expires. Set to `-1` to infinitely restrict access to the file.
`<when>` elements
<executables_on_removable_media>	Submit all files executed on removable media, such as USB drives, to FortiSandbox for analysis. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`
<executables_on_mapped_nw_drives>	Submit all files executed from mapped network drives. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
<web_downloads>	Submit all web downloads. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
<email_downloads>	Submit all email downloads. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
`<submit_by_extension>` elements
<enabled>	Submit specified file extensions to FortiSandbox for analysis. When disabled, FortiClient does not submit any file extensions to FortiSandbox, but can still retrieve signatures from FortiSandbox. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.	1
<use_custom_extensions>	Enable using a custom list of file extensions. If enabled, configure the custom list of file extensions using the `<custom_extensions>` element below. If disabled, the default list of file extensions is used: exe, dll, msi, cpl, ocx, ps1, swf, swz, jsfl, flv, swc, fla, xfl, jsfl, 7z, xz, bz2, gz, tar, zip, rar, arj, z, pdf, doc, docx, docm, dotx, dotm, dot, rtf, mht, mhtml, odt, xlsx, xl, xlsm, xlsb, xltx, xltm, xls, xlt, xlam, xlw, pptx, pptm, ppt, xps, potx, potm, pot, thmx, pps, ppsx, ppsm, ppt, ppam, odp Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.	0
<custom_extensions>	If using a custom list of file extensions, enter the list of desired file extensions, separated only by commas. The example submits .exe, .dll, and .com files to FortiSandbox for analysis.
`<exceptions>` elements
<exclude_files_from_trusted_sources>	Exclude files signed by trusted sources from FortiSandbox submission. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
<exclude files_and_folders>	Exclude specified folders/files from FortiSandbox submission. You must also create the exclusion list. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
<files>	Specify a list of files to exclude. Separate multiple files with a comma. Example: `C:\path\to\file1.txt, C:\path\to\file2.txt`
<folders>	Specify a list of folders to exclude. Separate multiple folders with a comma. Example: `C:\path1\to\folder\,C:\path2\to\folder\`
`<inclusions>` elements
<include files_and_folders>	Include specified folders/files in FortiSandbox submission. You must also create the inclusion list. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`.
<files>	Specify a list of files to include. Separate multiple files with a comma. Example: `C:\path\to\file3.txt, C:\path\to\file4.txt`
<folders>	Specify a list of folders to include. Separate multiple folders with a comma. Example: `C:\folder1,C:\path2\to\folder2\`.
`<remediation>` elements
<action>	Specify how to handle infected files. FortiClient can quarantine infected files. Enter one of the following: `quarantine`: quarantine infected files `alert`: alert the user about infected files but allow access to infected files
<on_error>	Specify how to handle files when FortiClient cannot reach FortiSandbox. You can block or allow access to files. Enter one of the following: `block` `allow`
<detect_level>	When the value is `4`: If FortiSandbox returns score 1/2/3/4, FortiClient takes the configured remediation action (quarantine or alert & notify). If FortiSandbox returns score 0, FortiClient releases the file. When the value is `3`: If FortiSandbox returns score 1/2/3, FortiClient takes the configured remediation action (quarantine or alert & notify). If FortiSandbox returns score 0/4, FortiClient releases the file. When the value is `2`: If FortiSandbox returns score 1/2, FortiClient takes the configured remediation action (quarantine or alert & notify). If FortiSandbox returns score 0/3/4, FortiClient releases the file. When the value is `1`: If FortiSandbox returns score 1, FortiClient takes the configured remediation action (quarantine or alert & notify). If FortiSandbox returns score 0/2/3/4, FortiClient releases the file. Possible values: `[4 \| 3 \| 2 \|1]`	4
<hide_sandbox_scan>	Hide Sandbox scan option from Windows Explorer's context menu. Boolean value: `[0 \| 1]`
<notification_type>	Specify the notification configuration for FortiSandbox file submission: `0`: Displays notification balloon when FortiSandbox detects malware in a submission. `1`: Displays a popup for all FortiSandbox file submissions. `2`: Does not display any notification for FortiSandbox file submissions, malware detection, or quarantine.	0
<max_size>	Specify the file size limit in MB for FortiSandbox file submission. 500 MB is the maximum allowed file size.	200
