I have several custom NMAP scan Tasks setup for several geographically dispersed locations with uniquely IP space.
Basic question, but being new to Bigfix, I’m trying to make sure I understand the Execution tab. I need to setup the custom scan tasks to run once daily. What’s the best way to accomplish this?
Hi @credog,
You can easily set that schedule up to run daily. You can tick the “Run Between” box and schedule the time that you would like for it to run between, and below that you can select which days you would like it to run on. The below is how I would set it up. You could give it an expiry date if you choose, depending on your requirements.

Quentin
Don’t forget to tick “Reapply this action” and chose “while relevant waiting” 24 hours between applications otherwise this will become a one time action.
Yes, apologies did it in a hurry!
Thanks. The Reapply this action” and while relevant waiting” dropdown goes from 12 hours to 1 Day. I guess there is not a way to do something in between, for example 20 hours? Just curious for future reference, the 1 Day works in this application. Thanks again
You can set it for 12 hours, and it will still wait until the next 8:00 AM to run again, based on your “Run between 8am and 10:30am” constraint.
To get more fine-grained reapply logic (since this seems to have come up a lot lately), you could add a custom Relevance for
not exists (last active time of action) whose (now - it < 20 * hour)
