# Scan Scheduling

You can run scans on demand or schedule them to run automatically. Scheduled scans ensure your security posture stays current without manual intervention.

***

## Running an Instant Scan

Click **New Scan** from the Dashboard or Findings page header. In the **Scan Now** tab:

1. Select a cloud provider from the dropdown
2. Click **Run Scan**

The scan runs immediately across all resources in the selected provider. You can track its progress in [Scan History](#scan-history).

***

## Creating a Schedule

In the **New Scan** dialog, switch to the **Schedule** tab:

1. **Select a cloud provider** from the dropdown
2. **Choose a frequency**:

| Frequency   | Additional Options         |
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
| **Daily**   | Time only                  |
| **Weekly**  | Day of week + time         |
| **Monthly** | Day of month (1–31) + time |

3. Set the **run time** — the schedule uses your local timezone (auto-detected)
4. Click **Create Schedule**

<Info>
  Each cloud provider can have one active schedule. Creating a new schedule for a provider replaces the existing one.
</Info>

## Managing Schedules

When a provider has an active schedule, the dialog shows its details:

* Frequency and day (if weekly/monthly)
* Next scheduled run
* Timezone
* Created date

You can **Edit** the schedule to change frequency, day, or time, or **Delete** it to stop automatic scans.

***

## Scan History

The **Scan History** page shows a log of all scans — both manual and scheduled:

| Column           | Description                                                      |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cloud**        | Provider and tenant name                                         |
| **Status**       | Queued, In Progress, Completed, or Failed                        |
| **Results**      | Summary — e.g., "12 failed, 340 passed, 352 total"               |
| **Initiated by** | User who triggered the scan (or "Scheduled" for automatic scans) |
| **Date**         | When the scan was triggered                                      |

Click any **Completed** scan to view its results in the Dashboard. Scans that are still in progress or have failed are not navigable.
