Understanding the Schedule Options

There are multiple settings available to customize the scan schedule. Learn more about each option below.

Select a start date

Use this field to specify a starting date for the scan; the first scan will not run until this date. This allows you to assign a a data source to a policy but not have the scan start until a later date. This would be useful, for example, if you are adding multiple data sources to a policy but want the scans to run in waves rather than all at once. You can assign all the data sources to the policy at the same time and just set different starting dates. You only need to add a date to this field if you want the job to start running on a date later than the date you are adding the schedule. Leave this field blank if you want the scans to start running immediately. This field can be used in combination with all other schedule fields. 

...

Use this field to specify a start time for the first scan in the schedule.  If a time is not specified, the first scan will start after midnight. Specify the time using the format HH:MM XM.
