Hello Jeff,
We have answered your question below.
1- Can you schedule Software Vulnerability Manager (SVM) to have computers check-in at a specific time or time range every day? I can tell all the systems to scan now, for example very early in the morning. However if the computer doesn’t check in because it has been turned off until the afternoon, then it will check in 24 hours after the last check-in. I would like it to try to check in every morning, even if it already checked in during the previous afternoon.
2-Can you have scanned more frequently than every 24 hours? Right now I have to either manually set the Single host scan to scan now or log into the computer and do a manual scan.
Ans: You can configure all the parameters by going to Scanning > Single host agent > right-click on any client machine>edit site configuration. The site configuration will apply to all the agents checking in and reporting back to the SVM console.
3-Can you change the Average Flexera System Score from only showing whole numbers to fractional numbers? For example, we usually run at about 99%. It would be nice to know if we were at 99.1% or 99.4%. This is really just to give a bit of a “boost” to the person doing the updating of the computers. It would be nice if the person doing the updating saw an improvement in the main number on the dashboard. I know you can look at the individual computers or software components but it would be nice to see a difference in the Average Flexera System Score.
Ans: Please follow the below link to log an enhancement directly to the product board. Once the enhancement will be logged, the product team will get back to you accordingly.

We hope this clarifies.

For question 1, while the directions provided were correct, the results were not as expected. It has been identified as a bug,
ticket number CSIL-10200.
The other two items are enhancement requests.
Thank you for your assistance.
