Scheduling Tests for Network Targets¶
The following page is where you specify information such as the test run date and any other files necessary for running the test.
The Main Schedule Page Controls¶
An asterisk (*) indicates a required field.
Is Fixed Test* : Marking a test as Fixed ensures that the scheduled date for this test is not affected by the rescheduling of other tests due to Gantt or Calendar operations.
You *can* change the scheduled date of a fixed test by using the **TEST > Test Info** page.
Schedule Date* : Use the pop-up calendar to choose a start date for the test.
For a 3D service, the calendar does not let you choose dates that are reserved for another scheduled test \(3D services only support one test at a time\).
For any type of 3D service \(unlimited or limited\), you must choose a calendar date that allows a five day lead time for testing. On the calendar, available dates are outlined, while unavailable dates are greyed out.
Based on the start date, the calendar automatically reserves the number of business days required to complete the test for the selected assessment type. For example, the NST-S-250IP assessment type requires five business days and NST-S-500IP assessment type requires ten business days.
Calendar pop-up for choosing a test date
Demo Call : A Demo Call date is set before a scan's Schedule Date, so that demos and scoping forms are reviewed before a test is run.
Demo call dates should be set to later than the current date and before the test's **Schedule Date**.
Test comments : (Optional) If you wish, you can enter comments here about the deployment and schedule for the test.
File Set : You must provide at least one target IP list file. Click the +Upload files button to upload the file.
The following file formats are supported:
- `.txt` file
- IP or URL per line
- `.csv` file
- IP and host name, delimited by a comma
- A host or device per line
After you upload a file, set its Asset Type to **Supporting Documents**.
The maximum file size is 150 kilobytes \(KB\) per file. A maximum of three files can be uploaded per test.
Note: After you schedule a test, you can change the uploaded file set at any time before the test completes.
When you click +Upload files, this page displays a dialog for uploading one or more files.
Click Choose Files to choose a file to upload, then click Upload to upload the file, and then click Close when you are done.
CAUTION:
Be sure to click Upload before you click Close. If you choose a file but then immediately click Close, the file is not uploaded.
Point of Contact Information¶
Specify a point of contact (POC) who will approve the running of your test. For more information about this section of the form, see "Point of Contact Information on the Schedule Page" in the Managed Services Platform Guide.
