Problem

I need to assign a location for a scan job to define the location for all targets within the scan job

Description/Solution

The ability to assign locations to a scan jobs allows the attaching of geographic information to targets identified by scan job. The location is not associated with the appliance but is associated with the scan job. This allows scan jobs executed by a single appliance to be associated with multiple locations.

Partial Solution

The location is an attribute of the scan job and is therefore specified within the Scan Details tab of the scan job configuration

  • Select the Scan job menu and click on the Configure button

  • Select the Scan Details tab

  • Select an appropriate location from the Location pull-down menu

  • Click on Update to save the location value

  • During the next scan (that uses this scan job) any scan targets will have this location value assigned to it.
