2. Other Filer Order Information (outlined in brown).
3. The Count of All Associated Bucket Connections (outlined in purple).
4. Project Settings (outlined in orange).

Notes:

• The Discover Now button will create a project for the associated Filer (clearing any previous Project/Jobs that may exist) and queue up its jobs in the scheduler.

Once a Discovery Scan has begun, the "Stop Scan" button can be clicked to stop all the associated jobs for the Scan Project. The current project and jobs will remain on the system, and they will preserve the current selections and settings for up to 7 days before they will be removed automatically.

When the scan is completed the banner message will fade away and the progress bar (outlined in green) will show completed with the status message of "examined 6 of 6 shares".
