Execute and schedule the following scans within Instance Scan. You can also analyze the results of the scans in your instance on a dashboard.
* **[Create a check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/KjvtiwrlEYvr7~Qtg6Bhdg)**   
  Create your own checks by implementing the following procedure.
* **[Create a check suite](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/k2YG8bAhCTj0y~UfwzrQJA)**   
  Create a check suite to bundle a group of checks into a suite and execute it.
* **[Executing a scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2o_YCr_e5wtlxgCpwhnZgA)**   
  Use the following types of scans to execute checks, a scan or a suite scan.
* **[Schedule a full scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ruJyJKwHsOabRdZKNRw0cQ)**   
  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.
* **[Schedule a suite scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/TomQEfeYKeqCEABaADjylQ)**   
  Create a schedule to regularly trigger a suite scan even when you don't have an active session.
* **[Monitoring a scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/5GfDwGe5Jc~3Pp2yFYFcpQ)**   
  You can check the progress status of a scan by checking the progress tracker.
* **[Parallel scans](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fXUjrm9abJ8FYC8fb4ZTUw)**   
  Parallel scan is a functionality in Instance Scan that allows multiple scans to run in parallel instead of sequential execution. This improves efficiency and reduces wait times when several scans are executed concurrently.
* **[Reviewing of scans](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/pDNyWikbA3CW~GiqWwJMOQ)**   
  After the scans have been executed, you can review them with the findings and results components.
* **[Queue your scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XooY1cehBJ5rM1A91jTo_A)**   
  Leverage the scan queue feature to line up your scans for automatic execution following the current scan.
* **[Cancel a scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/rpkI6MCF3zvxFwN3hH596w)**   
  Cancel or abort an ongoing scan by either selecting Cancel Scan in the scan execution modal or the Cancel Scan related link in the results record.
* **[Using the Instance Scan dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/~H4w5pwAzluohWpNTnMRsQ)**   
  Compare and analyze the results of the scans in your instance by representing it on the premium Performance Analytics (PA) dashboard.
