Schedules

What can you do in the Schedules section? #

In this tab, you can schedule your scans for automatic launching. This feature allows you to track the evolution of your technical debt through Full Scans.

This is a Quality Clouds admin action, available for admin users in the admin portal.

Your license comes with a limited number of scans. We recommend that you set your full scans every week or month, and your profiling scans every week.

Note: You can only set one schedule per each scan type, i.e. one profiling and one full scan schedule

What does each item show? #

• Period: Time which the schedules are active.
• Description: Displays details of the schedule.
