Schedules Reference
Reference for the per-Site Scan and Audit schedule catalogs: list view, fields, attachment rules, RBAC split, and Audit-log footprint.
Two separate catalogs
Schedules live in two distinct catalogs at the same menu depth:
| Catalog | Menu path | Type | Attachment target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scan schedules | Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings > Scan schedules | Scan |
Segments (one or more) |
| Audit schedules | Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings > Audit schedules | Audit |
Devices (max one schedule per device) |
A schedule defined in one catalog cannot be promoted to the other; a Scan schedule cannot be assigned to a device, and an Audit schedule cannot be attached to a Segment.
List view
Both catalogs share the same column set:
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | String, link | User-set label. Sorted ascending by default. |
| Type | Enum (Scan / Audit) |
Derived from which catalog the schedule lives in. |
| Created at | DateTime | System-set on creation. |
| Last execution | DateTime | Most recent run. Empty until first run. |
| Next execution | DateTime | Computed from the schedule cadence. |
Toolbar: Default View ▼ / + New schedule / Filter / ⋯ / ⚙️.
Fields on the create form
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | yes | Human-readable label. Surfaces in the catalog grid and in the Scan log / Audit log. |
| Granularity | yes | Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Per-cadence detail fields (specific time of day, day of week, day of month) may vary by deployment. |
Attachment rules
| Schedule type | Where attached | Constraint |
|---|---|---|
| Scan | Segment view → schedule slot | A schedule may attach to many Segments; a Segment may carry many scan schedules. |
| Audit | Device → Audit tab → Assign schedule | A device holds at most one Audit schedule at a time. Assigning a different schedule replaces the existing one. |
Log footprint
| Schedule type | Log | Initiator value |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | Audit log | Schedule |
| Scan | Scan log | Schedule (per docs; may vary by deployment) |
RBAC
The administrative split is the load-bearing fact for this section:
| Action | Site Administrator | Site User |
|---|---|---|
| Create a schedule definition | yes | no |
| Edit a schedule definition | yes | no |
| Delete a schedule definition | yes | no |
| Assign a schedule to a device or Segment | yes | yes |
| Unassign a schedule from a device or Segment | yes | yes |
This split lets a Site User own a device's audit cadence — picking and switching among schedules the administrator has defined — without giving them the ability to add or remove schedule definitions from the Site catalog.
Constraints
- A device cannot hold more than one Audit schedule. Use multiple schedules with different attachments, not one schedule with multiple attachment slots.
- Cadence detail beyond
Daily/Weekly/Monthlyis not authoritatively documented at this build level. - Scan-log rows for scheduled scans (
Initiator = Schedule) may not appear in every deployment; absence is not a definitive failure indicator on its own.
