Scan and Analysis

NAVIGATION  Software Management > Profiles > Scan and Analysis

The Scan and Analysis page creates profiles that specify the patch strategy used to select patches for deployment. A Scan and Analysis profile also specifies when a scan runs on a recurring schedule. A scan can always be run immediately using the Scan Now button on the Machines page.
