Scan Results and Remediation
Scan results help you understand source-side issues before a live run.
Scan detail tabs
The scan detail page is organized into tabs so large scans stay readable. Open the tabs that matter for the decision you are making:
Storage Overview: a visual size map of the scanned source. Use it to find the largest folders, drill into a folder, and review folder counts and total size.Migration Planning: proposed job parts for splitting large migrations into smaller scopes.Files: the scanned file and folder inventory, including calculated folder sizes where available.Naming Sanitization: names that should be changed before a live run.Data Duplication: groups of files that appear to contain the same data.Timestamps: missing, future, or otherwise suspicious modification times.Path Length: paths that exceed the active threshold.Excess Size: files larger than the active size threshold.Naming Conflict: source objects that would collide by name or path.Excess Count: folders with more immediate children than the active threshold.Logs: messages produced while the scan was running.
Tabs with many rows use pagination and search. Search narrows the visible rows without loading the entire scan into the browser.
Storage Overview
The Storage Overview uses colored tiles to show the relative size of folders in the scanned source. Larger tiles represent larger folders. Click a tile to focus the overview on that folder, and use the reset control to return to the top of the scan.
The details panel next to the map shows the selected folder's size, file count, folder count, and child counts. This is intended for orientation and planning; it does not change the source data.
Typical findings
Depending on the source inventory, you may see findings such as:
- naming sanitization
- path length issues
- naming conflicts
- data duplication
- timestamp issues
- excess size
- excess count
Searching and pagination
Use search inside a tab when the issue list is large. Search is most useful for:
- a known path segment
- an object identifier
- a hash value where shown
- a file type or naming pattern
- a duplicate group basis
Pagination controls show only the requested page. Increasing the row count can make review faster, but very large scans are still loaded page by page.
Bulk actions
Where supported, scan sections provide checkbox selection, bulk queue actions, and queue cancellation controls so you can act on multiple findings at once.
Queued actions run separately from the scan. The remediation bookmark on scan and run detail pages summarizes queued, running, completed, failed, canceled, and retryable work in one place.
Remediation actions
Rename
Rename actions are available from the Files tab and from issue sections that identify unsafe or inconvenient names. Review the proposed name before queueing the action. If a proposed rename fails, the status stays visible so you can retry or adjust the selection.
Timestamp fix
Timestamp fixes are available for timestamp findings when the source supports the operation. Use them when future, missing, or invalid modification times would make later validation or planning confusing.
Delete duplicate
Duplicate deletion is available from expanded duplicate groups. Review all objects in the group before queueing deletion. Keep at least one copy unless your operating procedure says otherwise.
Large scans
For very large scans, some calculations may complete before others. The page should keep showing available data while slower sections refresh. If a section says it is showing cached data, the visible rows are the last completed calculation while a newer calculation is in progress.
For completed scans, calculated results are reused unless the scan data or calculation rules change.
Recommended workflow
- run a
Scan - review
Storage Overviewto understand the shape of the source - search and page through the issue tabs that matter
- queue remediation carefully
- monitor queued actions from the remediation bookmark
- re-scan if you need a refreshed inventory view
