Scan List
When you log into Axe Monitor, the Scan List provides an overview of all the scans you can access in the system.
Scans marked as Favorites are sorted by default. Each scan has a scan name, score, critical issues, serious issues, total issues, last run time, and scan run status. If you have permission to edit or delete the scan, those actions show in the last column.
The Total column represents the sum of scores of the Critical, Serious columns, moderate, and minor issues.
The issue counts on the scan list are linked, and provide direct access to filters. For example, a count of “100” in the Critical column will lead you to the detailed list of 100 Critical issues found for that scan.
In progress scan runs
If you currently have any scans running in Axe Monitor, "In-progress scan runs" will additionally show the scans in “Running” status. Select the arrow to show all scans currently running, their duration, pages scanned in the last hour, total pages scanned, and actions to cancel, edit, or delete (available for scan admins).
If you have scans that have been running longer than expected, due to a problem with Axe Monitor, a message will display – “Scanning services are unavailable. Contact Helpdesk.” This message shows in all cases where there is an issue with Axe Monitor. If this message is not present and scans are running slowly, the delay may be caused by your network.
Uncheck "Enable live table updates" to stop live animation on the duration and page counts. Refresh the page for updated information.
