Scheduling Options in Web Scanner

Step 4: Schedule Scan

Once scan configuration and URLs are complete, you’ll be prompted to set your scan frequency and runtime preferences.

Scheduling Modes

Quick Scan (One-Time)

• Executes the scan immediately upon creation.
• No future runs will be scheduled.
• Useful for ad hoc validations, staging checks, or one-off deployments.

Recurring Scan

• Repeats the scan based on chosen days and time.
• Ensures continuous monitoring of regressions or WCAG compliance.

Fields:

• Days: Select one or more days (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri).
• Time: Choose execution time (in 12-hour or 24-hour format).
• Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone (e.g., UTC+5:30 Asia/Calcutta).

Run Initial Scan (Visual UI Only)

• Applies only to Visual Scans and is enabled by default.
• Triggers a baseline SmartUI screenshot set right after scheduling.
• This is required for future builds to have a baseline to compare against.

Example Use Case: You're scheduling a scan for every Monday. With "Run Initial Scan" enabled, a baseline will be created immediately. This acts as the visual reference for next Monday’s screenshots.
