Scan Queue / Scan Next - Order

Kevin | Last updated: Jun 13, 2016 07:24PM UTC

When there are hundreds or even thousands of pages to scan it it isn't always the best use of time to attempt to weed out and try to select which items to scan or determine which ones are nearly identical except a parameter or two and exclude them through the active scanning wizard; especially when available testing time is an issue. I think it is easier to send the whole lot to the scan queue so that the scan can get under way and then review the waiting items to determine similarity to other items being scanned and begin to use the 'Scan Next' Functionality to move items around in the queue (to avoid the same page being scanned concurrently due to differences in request parameters). Unless I am overlooking the ability to already do so, it would be nice to have a column in the scan queue that shows the current order that items will be scanned after one has used the 'Scan Next' functionality and and to also be able to move waiting items higher and lower within the scan queue. Additionally, it would be good to be able to continuously be able to edit these items as one 'fine tunes' the order one would like pages to be scanned. Thanks.

The default ordering of the active scan queue shows the order in which waiting items will be scanned. If you toggle off any column sorting (by clicking on the column header until the arrow disappears) then what you see is the order in which items will be scanned.
