Scan Configuration

The Scan Configuration screen is where you define scheduling and manage URLs for a scheduled scan.

Basic Configuration

On the configuration screen:

  • Display Name (required) - A descriptive name for the configuration.
  • Scan Frequency Choose how the scan should run:
    • On Demand - Scans are started manually by the user. Once the configuration is created, the scan can be run immediately or triggered multiple times, but no scans run automatically.
    • Daily - All enabled URLs in the configuration are scanned once per day automatically.
    • Weekly - All enabled URLs in the configuration are scanned once per week automatically.
    • Monthly - All enabled URLs in the configuration are scanned once per month automatically.
  • Rate Limiting (optional) Controls how aggressively pages are scanned to avoid overloading servers:
    • None (default)
    • 10 scans / second
    • 5 scans / second
    • 1 scan / second
    • 1 scan / 5 seconds
    • 1 scan / 10 seconds

Click “Create and Continue” to persist these settings.

Add/Import URLs

A maximum of 10,000 URLs can be added/imported per configuration. You can add URLs using multiple methods:

Add URLs Manually

  • Click Add URL
  • Enter one or more URLs
    • URLs can be separated by comma, semicolon, or new line
  • Click Add

All successfully added URLs are enabled for scanning by default.

Fetch Home Page URLs

  • Click Fetch home page URLs
  • QualiBooth crawls the homepage and discovers internal links one level deep.
  • A modal opens displaying all fetched URLs Note: A maximum of 100 URLs can be imported using this method. If more URLs are discovered, only the first 100 are displayed and available for import. In the modal:
  • All URLs are selected by default
  • You can select or deselect individual URLs
  • Click:
    • Add all to URL configuration, or
    • Add selected URLs to configuration

If no URLs are found, a message is displayed.

Import Sitemap

  • Upload or reference a sitemap file
  • All valid URLs belonging to the same domain are imported
  • Invalid or external URLs are skipped Note: A maximum of 10,000 URLs can be imported using this method.

Import CSV

  • Upload a CSV file containing one URL per line
  • Column headers (if present) are ignored
  • Multiple CSV files can be imported (one at a time) Note: A maximum of 10,000 URLs can be imported using this method.

During import:

  • A loading indicator is shown
  • Other actions are temporarily disabled

After import, a summary message shows:

  • Number of URLs imported
  • Number of URLs rejected (invalid, wrong domain)
  • Number of duplicate URLs ignored

Managing URLs

Each configuration contains at least one URL by default (the site’s base URL). The URL Management list provides full control over scan inclusion:

  • Each URL has a checkbox to enable or disable scanning
  • Bulk actions are available when multiple URLs are selected:
    • Enable All
    • Disable All
    • Delete All
  • Individual URLs can be deleted using the trash icon
  • Pagination options: 20, 50, or 100 URLs per page
  • Search is available to filter URLs

Only URLs belonging to the same domain (including subdomains) can be added.

All changes take effect immediately - no additional save action is required.

At the top of the Add/Import URLs section, you can see both the total number of URLs added and the number of URLs currently enabled for scanning.

Starting or Activating a Scan

A primary action button is available on the configuration screen once required settings are saved and URLs are added.

The button behavior adapts dynamically:

  • Activate Scan - For new scheduled configurations or such that are inactive
  • Deactivate Scan - For active scheduled configurations
  • Run Scan Now - For On Demand configurations
  • Stop Scan - For On Demand configurations with a scan currently running

If there are no URLs are added, the action button is disabled with a tooltip “Add URLs first”. A scan cannot be started without at least one configured URL.

Returning to Configurations

Use Back to Configurations to return to the configurations list.
