Create your own checks by implementing the following procedure.

## Before you begin

Role required: scan_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllInstance ScanChecks.
2. Select New from the Checks context menu.  
   The Check Interceptor list appears.
3. Select one of the available types of checks.  
   See [Check types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/oGCiPopSw2BpthRPYD8Ntw#hs-intro-health-check__hs-health-check-types) for more information.  
   Note:  
   If you want to update an existing check, the Version field increments itself. The new version provides you a change history. You can also know which particular version of the check ran with a given scan.
* **[Create a table type check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/uR43LGPMMiRWgtL8bWHRBA)**   
  Create a check by selecting Create a new Table Check if you know which specific table and conditions you want to test. This check type is applied on only one table at a time. You can also include your own script for more complex capabilities by selecting the Advanced option on the form.
* **[Create a column type check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/DjhQm9sjfcMXMV1XE8_kMA)**   
  Retrieve all records containing a specific column field type from all tables in an instance by selecting Create a new Column Type Check. The Column Type Check type implements the rule you created to iterate all records matching the target column field type.
* **[Create a script only check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0qncqdD0J7N9r5LNSDYP0Q)**   
  Create a check without specifying a table or a column type by selecting Create a new Script Only Check. You can verify meta data, configurations, and execute complex checks by writing your own script.
* **[Create a linter check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/P72YIep2xCfCPHeGNZz00g)**   
  Create a linter check to identify any issues in a script. When a linter check is run on a record, an abstract syntax tree for its code is generated. You can use the abstract syntax tree to analyze issues with the code.
