Scheduler (Company)

This is the scheduler where you can configure your Scan, Patch, and Report schedules at the Company level.

The scheduler is available in both Global and company-level Settings. If you set a global schedule, it will apply to all companies and any new companies added unless set as Denied.

NOTE: Only one space is allowed between words, and the name cannot start or end with spaces for the scheduler name.

Scan Scheduler

The Scan Scheduler configures your scan jobs to take place automatically.

Scheduled Scan Examples
Scan Job Name	Scan Type	Frequency	Target Time	Agent Type
Daily Full Scan - All Companies (Includes Active Directory, Compliance, Firewall, and Network Scans) (Allows you to select specific Discovery Settings based on the selected agent.)	Full Scan	Once Per Day	During business hours, we want assets to be online for scanning	Probe
Daily ASM Scan - All Companies	Attack Surface Mapper	Once Per Day	After hours, any time	Non-Agent Scan
Daily External Scan - All Companies	External Scan	Once Per Day	After hours, any time	Non-Agent Scan
Weekly Compliance Scan - All Companies (Only needed if you are not using the Probe - Full Scan option)	Compliance	Once Per Week	During business hours, we want assets to be online for scanning	Lightweight or Probe Agent

NOTE: Lightweight Agent scans are happening automatically and do not require the scheduler; you can adjust the LWA Agent Scan Interval at Overview > Settings > Scan Interval menu

Schedules created will be displayed in the table, and various column data will be available.

Add Scan Schedule

Tap on Add to create a new scan schedule.

Complete the required fields based on the Scan Type selected.

We have a KB for all the scan types here: Scan Types

You can use the Active toggle to enable or disable the schedule. This is a great way to stage your scheduler for review before turning it on.

Edit Scan Schedule

Tap on the three-dot Action menu on the right side of the table, then tap Edit.

Make any changes, then tap on Save.

Delete Scan Schedule

Tap on the three-dot Action menu on the right side of the table, then tap Delete.

Tap Yes to confirm and complete the deletion.

Patch Scheduler

Here, we can Add, Edit, and Delete from the automatic patch schedulers for Application and OS patching.

Add Patch Scheduler

Tap on the Add button.

Complete the required fields and tap Save to complete.

The patch scheduler has two options, ‘Application' and ‘OS,’ under the Select Type drop-down.

This gives you control over the behavior of each type of patching policy. To patch both the Application and OS, you must configure two policies, one for each.

For additional tips on patching, check out the Patch Management Guide

Company Report Scheduler

Include Tags or Exclude Tags allows you to filter down the report accordingly.

The Select Report field will be filtered based on the selected Format Types.

Please note that the password field is optional. If you choose to enter a password, the report email contents will be encrypted. The recipient will need to enter the password to view the results. The email report will be sent as plain text if no password is entered.

Report Builder Scheduler

You can view the scheduled reports in the table view; otherwise, tap the Add button to create a new record.

Complete the required fields.

NOTE: You must create a Report Builder template from the Global Report Builder before you can schedule or select from the templates.

DOCX is the only available format that is supported for scheduling.

Tags are optional. If you choose from the drop-down, only the assets that contain matching tags will be displayed in the selected reports; this acts as a tag filter.

Password is optional. If you set a password, the report recipients will need the password to view the reports; emails are sent encrypted.
