The scanner control block is located at the top of the Sidebar.It displays the current status of the scanner and additional command buttons. Certain buttons may appear or disappear depending on the situation.

Task list management menu

Scanning

You can’t remove, disable or configure scan tasks during scanning. All disabled tasks are hidden.

The Status column displays the progress of each task and its current state.

The overall scanning progress is displayed in the Sidebar.

Click Stop scan if you want to interrupt the scan process. This operation can take some time.

You don’t have to stop the scan process to add new tasks. Simply create new tasks during the scan: from the Quick Add field, by dragging assets into the scanner area or in any other way. They will be processed when in turn.

You don’t have to monitor the scan process. You can freely switch to a different mode and work there while the scan is performed in the background. The icon in the Scanner tab displays the scan progress.

Scan results

When the scanning is done, the results of every task are displayed in the main area.

If an error has occurred while processing any of the tasks, you’ll see an error message in the Status column.

Names and statuses of tasks can be copied by selecting them and pressing Ctrl + C or via the context menu.

The sidebar displays the overall scan result and some additional commands.

  • Back to editing: dismisses the scan results and returns to normal mode.
  • Clear finished: only leaves the tasks that have not been finished with success for one reason or another. This allows us to eliminate the causes of errors and run the scanner again without rescanning the tasks that finished with success.
  • Clear all: removes all scan tasks completely.

After scanning, the Select in tree context menu option allows you to quickly display the necessary nodes in the storage. By selecting the necessary nodes and switching to the Viewer and Reports or Table reports tabs, you can easily build the necessary reports based on the selected nodes.

This context menu item is available only for nodes that have already been added to the storage. If the node is new and is not present in the current storage, then another context menu item will be available for it – “Add to storage“.
