- Hourly: This scheduling option uses an hour as a minimum time unit. Enter a number from 1 to 23 in the Every… hour(s) field to indicate the intervals of automatic scan. You can also specify the number of minutes past the hour. But it does NOT mean that the scan will take place every hour plus specific amount of minutes. It just enables you to shift the hourly time interval. For example, let's fill in the fields with the following values:
- Every 3 hour(s)
- At 15 past the hour
As a result, the next automatic scan will take place every three hours and fifteen minutes past the hour. For example, at 3-15, 6-15, 9-15 and so on. (NOT at 3-15, 6-30, 9-45 and so on).
The system informs you about the next scan date and time under the Next fire headline.

When you schedule a scan for the first time, the first automatic scan will take place at the default time – in one hour starting from the schedule time – and after that it will be based on your custom schedule.
