The first step is in the Discover Scan Setup is to select if you will be using a location or document set for the scan. A location allows you to select a connection and path to scan. A document set allows you to select a saved scan result to rescan. Expand the section below based on the option you want to select to view the instructions.

, File Inventory is always included in the Discover scan and cannot be turned off. However, you can choose to add additional categories to the scan to meet your needs. For document sets, File Inventory will not be included in the scan since all the items in the document set will already have been run against the File Inventory template, and scanning them against it again would be redundant.
Each template provides a speed and scope key to help you understand the depth of analysis the template provides and how that will impact the speed of the Discover scan. Deeper scans will run slower but reveal more information or refined classifications. Keep this in mind when building your scan.

If a category is unavailable for selecting, the supporting entity type is not installed in your DryvIQ Platform. |
The Miscellaneous category contains all the custom entity types created in your DryvIQ Platform. If you want to add a custom entity type to the Discover scan, you should add this template to the scan. You can then use the configuration option for the Miscellaneous template to select just the specific custom entity type that you want to add to the scan you are creating.
Click to select the box in front of the template name. A check mark appear in the box to indicate it is selected.
Selecting a template selects all available categories in that template. DryvIQ recommends leaving the default categories for each template. However, if your use case requires a specific set of categories, you can edit the template categories as needed. The exception is the File Inventory template, which cannot be edited. To edit a template, click the gear icon on the template card.
The corresponding modal opens and displays the categories for the selected template. Expand a category to view the included entity types. Clear the box for an entity type you do not want to include in the template.
Click OK when you are finished adjusting the categories.
Repeat steps 1-4 for each template you want to select.
Click Next to advance to the Schedule step.

Schedule
The Schedule step allows you to assign a schedule to the scan. If no schedule is assigned, the scan must be run manually. If enabled, the scan will run automatically based on the defined schedule. There are multiple settings available to customize the scan schedule.
| Note |

If you are creating a scan for a mapped location or document set, the schedule applies to the child scans only. The scan for the primary scan will run every six hours and create new child scans as needed. |

Select the Enable schedule.
Complete the schedule fields based on the schedule you want to use. Expand the Scan Schedule Options below to learn about each schedule option.

Starting onUse this field to specify a starting date for the scan; the first scan will not run until this date. This allows you to create a scan but not start the scan until a later date. This would be useful, for example, if you are adding multiple scans but want the scans to run in waves rather than all at once. You can add scans at the same time and just set different starting dates. You only need to add a date to this field if you want the scan to start running on a date later than the date you are creating the scan. Leave this field blank if you want the scan to start running immediately. This field can be used in combination with all other schedule fields. Scan onUse this field to specify which days of the week you want the scan to run. By default, all days are selected. You can clear days by clicking on a day in the list. The check mark in front of the day is removed, and the day no longer appears in the field above the list. Similarly, click on a day without a check mark to select the day to include it. Setting days can be useful in creating waves of scans since you can set the scans to run on alternating days, or it can be useful to set scans to run on days where activity is minimized (such as weekends). This field can be used in combination with all other schedule fields.  Scan everyBy default, the scan is set to run once a day. You can use this option to set the scan to run on a different time interval. Specify the number and select if it is minutes, hours, or days. The time determines when the scan will run after the previous scan completes and not specific increments of time. For example, the default value is 1 day. This means the scan will run 24 hours after the previous scan completes. This option can be used in combination with the Starting on and Scan on fields. It cannot be used in combination with the At a specific time option. When you select this option, additional fields display that allow to control the time frame for the scan as well as the number of times the scan will run per day.  First scan start timeUse 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 or click the clock icon to select the time. Scan stop timeUse this field to specify the time you want the last scan to start. If a time is not specified, the last scan run will start no later than midnight. Specify the time using the format HH:MM XM or click the clock icon to select the time. Maximum number of daily scansUse this field to specify the number of times you want the scan to run in a day. Once the scan runs this many times, it will not run again until the next day. At a specific timeUse this option to set the scan to run at a specific time of the day. This may be useful if you prefer scans to run only during off hours. This option can be used in combination with the Starting on and Run on fields. It cannot be used in combination with the Scan every option.  Scan atSpecify the time here using the format HH:MM XM or click the clock icon to select the time. The scan will run at that time for all the selected days. |

Save scan: This saves the scan with no further action. The scan will follow the schedule that has been set. If no schedule has been set, the scan must be triggered manually.
Note that the primary scan for mapped locations and document sets will run as soon as the scan is saved to create the child scans. However, the child scans will not run once the primary scan is complete. The child scans will run according to the schedule set for the scan. If no schedule has been set, the scans will need to be run manually.Save scan and run it now: This saves the scan and triggers the scan to run. Once complete, the scan will then follow the schedule that has been set for the scan. If no schedule has been set, subsequent scans must be triggered manually.
The scan is added to the All Scans page.
