Once a scan has been saved, you can modify almost every aspect of it as required.  This includes changes / additions to –

• Date Range being scanned
• Scan Criteria contained within the scan
• Data Group(s) to be scanned

These modifications can affect the scan for only 1 scanning session, or permanently.  The ability to save the modifications as a completely new scan is also available.

Modifying the Date Range

In the main scanning window you will see the Date Range window.

 


To modify this setting for a previously saved scan, left click once on the scan located in the Saved Scans window (item will highlight in blue).

 

The Date Range window will update to display the date range settings for the selected scan.  Click on the drop down arrow next to the date option, and select the new setting.

If you only want this change to have an effect on the next scan, click on the Execute Scan button.  If you would like to modify the selected scan so it always uses this new setting, click the Save button.  To create a new scan using the adjusted settings, left click the Save As button, and enter a name for the new scan.

Modifying the Scan Criteria

From the scans section of the main window, you can modify existing criteria, remove existing criteria, or add new criteria to the selected scan.
