Working with scans

Triggering scans

From the Quality Clouds for Salesforce app, you can launch feature branch scans.

→ To trigger a scan

1. Log into the Salesforce org.  
2. Click the App Launcher icon
3. Type in ‘Quality Clouds‘ in the search box.
4. Select Quality Clouds App.
5. A new tab will appear with the name ‘Quality Clouds’.
6. Go to Instances section.
7. Choose the instance for which you want to launch a scan, and click ‘View Details‘.
8. Add the Git Branch.
9. Click Trigger Scan.

Remember to add the name of the feature branch you want to scan. Make sure the branch exists in the repository before running the scan. If it does not exist, the scan will fail. 

    10. You have now launched a scan. The scan details will be available as soon as the scan has finished successfully.

The scan now appears in the Scan section with the state RUNNING. 

The scan status will change from RUNNING to SUCCESS or FAIL, depending on the result.

• A scan details page opens, displaying high-level scan information and all the details regarding the identified issues.

• You can filter the issue by their name, impact area and severity.

You can now go directly to your code element by clicking ‘Affected Element Name’, or see detailed issue information, by clicking the Issue ID.

The users defined in the Quality Clouds admin site as recipients of feature branch scan results will also receive an email with the issues detected in the scan.
