Scan profiles are created and edited in the Scan Profile window. To access the Scan Profile window, go to the Scan Profiles page in Preferences.
The new scan profile procedure includes the following parts:
•Part 1: Adding Scan Profile Details
•Part 2: Scheduling Automatic Scanning (Optional)
Part 1: Adding Scan Profile Details
To create a new scan profile:
1.On the Main Console window, click File > Preferences > Scan Profiles, then click New.
A new Scan Profile window opens on the Details tab.
2.Type a name for the scan profile.
Use a name that makes sense for its purpose.
3.(Optional) Include a description for the scan profile.
Like the name, it’s important to provide a description that clearly explains the purpose of the scan profile. For additional guidance, look at the descriptions of the prebuilt scan profiles.
4.To add a scanner to the profile, click Add and select one of the following scanner types. (For details about any scanner, click a link below.)
The Files and Registry scanners are configurable. For configuration details, see File Scanner Settings or Registry Scanner Settings.
5.(Optional) To schedule the new scan profile for automatic scanning, continue to Part 2: Scheduling Automatic Scanning.
Part 2: Scheduling Automatic Scanning
To select a schedule type and configure schedule triggers:
1.On the Triggers tab, click a Trigger Type, then define the schedule settings.
A schedule can include one or more triggers. Be careful of creating conflicts when setting frequencies or using multiple triggers. If triggers overlap, only one scan will start. For example, having two triggers (one for every Monday at noon and one for every day at noon) will not start two scans every Monday. For additional scheduling tips, see the table below.
The following table provides information on the schedule trigger types and settings available on the Triggers tab.
