Real-Time Prevention is a Scan Engine feature that actively monitors records as they are created or modified by developers and administrators, displaying real-time finding messages when saving records in any instance where the Scan Engine is installed and activated.  
How it works:

* **Immediate Detection:** Identifies potential violations in scripts, includes, and other fields at the moment of edit.
* **On-Screen Alerts:** Displays findings in real-time with severity levels
* **Guided Resolution:** Provides details, such as line numbers, impact levels, and steps to resolve found issues.
* **Governance:** Supports exception workflows and links to supporting documentation for compliance.

Hinweis:  
Real-Time Prevention must be enabled in the Scan Engine properties page for this feature to function. For more information, refer to [Configure Scan Engine properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dJMsPAzmxuEiFIbk9LPe9w "Configure the primary scanning capabilities and configuration options for scheduled, on-demand and real-time scans.").

Findings identified by real-time monitoring can have the following levels.

| Level | Description |
|-|-|
| Review | Displays an informational message without blocking saves or creating finding records. |
| Suggest | Prompts users to check for a better solution if one is available. |
| Recommend | * Prevents users from saving the record unless they resolve the issue or provide an exception reason. * For more information, refer to [Submit exceptions for the Scan Engine findings](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lZdsXjXSWUYfM7proUZI5g "For Recommend level findings, developers can submit exception requests if they feel the issue should not be considered a finding."). {#using-real-time-prevention-monitoring-scan-engine__ul_fzk_jmh_khc} |
| Act | * Prevents users from saving the record until they fix the code to meet the definition's requirements. * No exception reason option is available. * An override requires admin-level rights or the disabling of the definition. {#using-real-time-prevention-monitoring-scan-engine__ul_xpg_vmh_khc} |
