Changing scan parameters

You can change the parameters for scans in the following states:

Scan state	Description
Saved scan	Scan is saved but not configured
Aborted scan	Scan is aborted
Configured/scheduled scan	Scan is configured and not yet started
Paused scan	Scan is in paused state
Scan paused by the system	Scan is paused due to storage failure
Running scan	Scan is in progress

Note

When you edit a running scan, the changes will be applied to the remaining files. Files already analyzed by the scan will remain unaffected by the changes.

For example, a running scan has already analyzed 40 out of 100 files. If you edit the scan at this stage, the changes will affect the remaining 60 files.
