You can choose to scan a data source at any time--even if a schedule has been set for the data source. This will execute scans for all policies to which the data source is assigned.
Select Policy Center.
Select Data sources.
Click the ellipses (…) that display when you hover at the end of the row for the data source.
Select Scan from the menu that displays.

The scan will enter the queue and execute based on its priority in the queue.
Understanding the Scan Status
The Status column displays when the last scan ran for each data source. If a scan is in progress, this field will display a progress bar to indicate the scan progress. If scans are running for multiple locations, each location will display its own progress bar. The page doesn’t refresh automatically, so you need to manually refresh the page to update the scan progress.

Some platforms report an accurate content estimate DryvIQ can use to calculate the scan progress. For these platforms, the scan progress will reflect the true percentage of the scan progress. These scan percentages are approximations and may fluctuate based on the information provided by the platform (where applicable) or the amount of content being scanned. For example, if DryvIQ determines an estimate is wrong, it will recalculate the progress, which may decrease the progress from its previous level. Progress will then begin to increase again as the scan continues.

While SharePoint Online does provide a count estimate DryvIQ leverages to determine the scan progress, this estimate is not accurate if there are subdirectories in the source path. In this instance, the scan progress may recalculate. |
For platforms that don’t provide content estimates, DryvIQ will display the following percentages based on the scan phase currently being executed:
20%: The scan is initializing and preparing to run.
30%: The scan is determining changes to the content.
40%: The scan is executing. This is when the scan is actively reading content and compiling the statistics for the reporting. During this phase, DryvIQ will update the number of files scanned, if any.
80%: The scan is finalizing.
100%: The scan is complete. The Scan status will display 100% for one minute after the scan completes. Then, the last scan date will display.
