# Using the Instance Scan dashboard

# Using the Instance Scan dashboard {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Compare and analyze the results of the scans in your instance by
representing it on the premium Performance Analytics (PA) dashboard.

## Before you begin

You've created some checks to execute the full scan. See [Create a check](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/pxMZytg88S33TLnKJJFVlw "Create your own checks by implementing the following procedure.") and [Execute a full scan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qIpQ~VvezlGrflg70O3lIQ "Execute a scan for the entire instance by selecting Execute Full Scan. Implementing a full scan runs all the active checks present in your instance.") for more information.

Role required: admin.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllInstance ScanDashboard.
2. Select an option from the Instance Scan Category or Instance Scan Priority list.  
   Note:  
   The dashboard is applicable only for full scans. The Instance Scan Category appears only if you have data or a finding in the result set that are applicable to the categories.
3. Select the scan result from the Scan Results list that generates an unexpected number of check findings.  
   A related list of findings related to only that scan is expanded.
4. **Optional:** Select the scan column directly from the dashboard to display the related list of checks.  
   The related list of checks appears. The list also indicates the source that the finding has been retrieved from.

## Result

A dashboard showing the results of scans is created.
