Scan operations: Scan Details page

Prev Next

Use this page to configure a scan.

All discovery scans are configured in a similar manner. The scan options are selected in the upper Scan Details pane. The lower pane has multiple tabs for new scans.

We recommend creating schedule, repository, filter, and rule set definitions before configuring scans. If repositories require credentials for access, create the necessary credentials definitions as well.

Select this option if you want to display Data Inventory information. If you deselect this option, you can view the counters on the Data Analytics page, but cannot expand them to display the detailed information.

For Inventory and Classification scans, the field is displayed but can't be edited.
