Execute all applicable checks against a single record, update set or an application by selecting Run Point Scan.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

For example, if you execute a point scan against a business rule, only the checks that are applicable to the business rule table run, and only that single target record is scanned. If an update set scan or an application scan is executed, all records related to that update set or application are scanned.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllInstance ScanChecks.
2. Navigate to the record in a table applicable for point scan.  
   Note:  
   The Run Point Scan related link appears in the UI only for applicable records.
3. Scroll down to the Related Links section.
4. Select the Run Point Scan related links.  
   Note:  
   The Run Point Scan related link is available only if all the following conditions are true.
   * Available checks that are applicable to the record
   * The record is active
   * The user has read access to the record
   * The record is on a table that extends sys_metadata
   * The role of the user must be scan_user
   * The system property glide.scan.enable_point_scan_ui_action must not be false
   {#hs-execute-point-scan__ul_gq4_rvd_gjb}  
   The progress tracker appears showing the status of the scan.
5. Select Go to Result.  
   The Scan Result record appears.
6. Select Checks related list to look at the findings.  
   If you want to review the failure reasons, select the Failures related list.

## Result

A scan of all applicable checks against only a single record is executed.
* **[Execute an update set scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OXEkdJUKsRCztLKi296Sjw)**   
  Use an update set scan to run applicable checks against the current versions of records that have updates in the update set. If a record has been modified since it was added to the update set, the scan reflects those later changes. Issues that exist only in the update set version of a record aren't detected.
* **[Execute an app scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LQnQtgvb3~1SqtoxMfzPoQ)**   
  Scan the installed files of an application as well as the application record itself with applicable checks by executing an application scan.
