    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.

    3. Scroll down to the Related Links section.
    4. Click 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 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
      The progress tracker appears showing the status of the scan.
    5. Click Go to Result.
      The Scan Result record appears.
    6. Click Checks related list to look at the findings.
      If you want to review the failure reasons, click Failures related list.
