Introduction
------------

This document provides instructions on how to schedule a recurring scan.

Instructions
------------

1.  Log in to your Web Governance account.
2.  Select the domain that you want to work with.
3.  On the same row as the domain, click **Action**.
4.  Select **Edit Domain**.
5.  Locate the _Scan_ section and turn on the **Crawl Automatically** toggle.
6.  Provide the following information in the fields provided:
    *   Scan frequency: Use the arrow to expand the choices and select the frequency.
    *   Day: Use the arrow to expand the choices and select the day of week that you want the scan to run on.
    *   Time: Select the time of day that you want the scan to run on. 
        *   AM: 00:00- 11:59
        *   PM: 12:00-23:59
    *   Connections per minute: Use the arrow to expand the choices and select the scan speed.
        *   Slow: 15 connections per minute.
        *   Normal (recommended): 60 connections per minute.
        *   Faster: 90 connections per minute.
        *   Very fast (be cautious): 120 connections per minute.
        *   Superfast (advanced users only) 180 connections per minute.

Important

*   Make sure that your servers can process the number of requests from the crawler.
    
*   If you set the connections per minute to 'Faster' or higher, the server response time can increase. If the server responds slowly, the scan speed does not increase.
    
*   The crawler can do a maximum of five scans at the same time on one IP address. If two or more websites use the same IP address, the scan uses the slowest connections-per-minute setting for that IP address.
