Execute the different kinds of scans that Instance Scan offers to keep a
check on the health of your instance. You can also schedule a full scan so you can ensure the
health of your instance even without an active session.  
Note:  
Instance Scan scans only customized records, but point scan scans all records including the default records.

1. [Execute scans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vrtSqfoFHnDdRO8W5vOm9A "Execute all applicable checks against a single record, update set or an application by selecting Run Point Scan."): Execute the different types of scans available as per your requirements.
2. [Schedule scans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/O09MuA8nFKV6cgXumIFOQg "Create a schedule to regularly trigger a full scan even when you don’t have an active session. A schedule creates an established baseline for the health of the instance and provides a comparison to configuration and instance health over time."): Create a schedule to regularly trigger either a full or a suite scan even when you don't have an active session.
3. [Monitor scans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GW8A2cGFpJks8XgwLbx~4A "You can check the progress status of a scan by checking the progress tracker."): Track the progress status of the executed and scheduled scans.
4. [Review scans](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/a4HYnTqcMv_H9fbeqRQGGA "After the scans have been executed, you can review them with the findings and results components."): Review your executed scans with the findings and results components.
