Viewing the Scan History of a Workstation

The Scan Status reports the history of the scans done at the workstation. For example, you view the Scan Status window to determine whether the scan was successful for the workstation, or whether the Storer has stored the .STR files of the workstation in the database. The inventory components (Scanner and Storer) write the scan information in the Status log.

The Scan Status displays the history of the latest ten scans of the selected workstation.

The following table lists the details of the log:

Status Information Details

Time of Scan

Displays the date and time of the scan.

Message

Displays the message reported by the inventory components while scanning the workstation and storing the scan data in the database.

For more information, see Workstation Inventory Error Messages in Error Messages.

You can export the log file as a .CSV or TAB-delimited file.

To invoke the Scan Status window:

  1. In ConsoleOne®, right-click the workstation > click Properties > click the ZENworks Inventory tab > click Scan Status.

If the scan is disabled in the Inventory policy, the Scanner does not log any status messages in the Status Report log.
