Field	Description
Run scan	Select how often you want to run the scan process: daily or weekly.
Hours to perform the scan	If you choose Daily or Weekly, specify the hours in which you want to run the scan, for example, daily at 2 a.m. For best practice, run discovery scans at night, after peak business hours. Select more than one time period to indicate when the scan should continue running if it is unable to complete during the first slot. Scans are not run more than once a day even when multiple time slots are selected.
Scan only while computer is idle	Select this check box if you want to perform the discovery scan only on idle computers. This is desirable, because endpoint scanning consumes resources and can slow performance. For Windows endpoints, idle time is derived from the operating system. For Linux endpoints, the idle time is 10 minutes.
Pause scanning while computer is running on batteries	Select this check box if you want to pause discovery scanning if the endpoint computer switches to battery mode.
