Occasionally, it may be necessary to scan a certain group of items. If these items are not included in one of the on-demand scans, they might be scanned as follows:
They may be scanned separately; one by one: in this case the items will be scanned sequentially. Follow these steps to scan separate items:
1. Select the Create new scan option in the Scan jobs panel. This will open a wizard that will allow you to create the scan job.
2. Click on the Scan option in the Scan jobs panel, or right-click on the item and select the Scan option from the pop-up menu.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each of the items you want to scan.
This is not the best option when it comes to scanning a group of items. If you want to do this, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
Create a scan job that includes all of them. If you create a new scan job you will be able to indicate each and every item that you want to scan. When you indicate that the scan should be carried out, all the items will be scanned at the same time. In addition, you will be able to perform the scan job you created as many times as you want. In fact, it will exist until you decide to delete it. Follow these steps to create a scan job including several items:
1. Select the New scan option in the Scan jobs panel. This will open a wizard that will allow you to create the scan job.
2. Click on Next.
3. Select the items that you want to add to the list of items, and click on the Add button.
4. Select one of the items in the list and click OK.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the items to be scanned are included in the list. If you want to delete any item, select it and click on Remove.
6. Click on Next.
7. You can configure the characteristics of the scan job you are creating by clicking on the Configure button. In addition, at this stage you can also indicate if it should be an on-demand or a scheduled scan. By default, it will be an on-demand scan. However, if you would like it to be a scheduled scan select the option I want this job to be carried out frequently. If this is the case, click the Schedule button. If you click this button, you will be able to establish the frequency with which the scheduled scan will be carried out (when it should be performed automatically).
8. Write the name of the scan job you have just created. In this way, it will be saved under that Scan name.
9. Click on Next.
10. Click on Finish.
