Viewing Child Scans

Learn how to view and manage child scans for mapped locations and document set scans.


Overview

The Child Scans page displays all the scans for a mapped location or document set. This page allows you to start child scans or remove them if you don't want to scan the content in a specific path. The information on the page varies depending on whether you are viewing the child scans for a mapped location or a document set. For a mapped location, the grid displays only the path and scan status.

For document sets, the grid displays the same information for a primary scan: scan name, connection, path, and scan status.

Searching Child Scans

The number of child scans is displayed above the first column of the grid. Use the scroll options or buttons at the bottom of the grid to navigate through the pages of child scans. You can also search for a specific scan using the Refine option. This search is a case-sensitive search, so the search text must match the content exactly. The search works as an “AND” statement when more than one option is applied.

  • Path: Search for the scan based on the exact path, which is displayed in the Location column. This is an exact search, so you must enter the exact path to return results. This option is available for both mapped location and data set child scans.
  • Scan Date: Search for a scan based on the date the scan last ran. Select the mode (between, on, after, or before) and the date you want to use. This option is available for both mapped location and data set child scans.  
  • Has executions?: View only scans that have run. Select True to view scans that have run at least once. Select False to view scans that have not run yet. This option is available for both mapped location and data set child scans.
  • Storage platform: Search for scans on a specific storage platform. You will select the platform from a list of available platforms. This option is available only for document set child scans.
  • Impersonation User: Search for the scan based on the user being impersonated. Note that not all platforms support impersonation. This search is exact, so the entry must match the user exactly. This option is available only for document set child scans.
  • Connection name: Search for a scan based on the connection name, which is the first line of text displayed in the Connection column. This is an exact search, so you must enter the exact connection name. This option is available only for data set child scans.
  • Connection user: Search for the scan based on the user account used to create the connection, which is the second line of text displayed in the Connection column. This search is exact, so the entry must match the user exactly. This option is available only for data set child scans.

 

Search Field

The Search field in the menu filters the search options only; it does not perform a search on the text entered.
