Types of scheduled scans

Immediate scan

Once you have configured the scan, it will take place as soon as the device connects to the server.

Scheduled scan

The scan will take place at the configured date and time. For that to happen, you need to configure the scan sufficiently in advance. If there is no connection to the server at the scheduled date and time, the scan will take place as soon as the connection is re-established.

Periodic scan

The scan will take place at the date and time that you set in the corresponding fields with the corresponding frequency.

As with scheduled scans, it is advisable to configure periodic scans sufficiently in advance to ensure there is connection with the server. Otherwise, the scan will take place as soon as the connection is re-established.
