The from scan version of this command creates a scan using an existing scan as a template. The new scan has the same parameters as the existing scan but can be modified, and will run on the same share as the existing scan.

New scans will not be shown on the Currently Configured Scans page in the Web UI until you start or schedule them. See fmps scan start and fmps scan schedule .
