## Purpose

This article describes how to run an unscheduled scan to perform a one-time, immediate data collection with a collector client. Administrators may use it during collector client deployment, one-time collections, or troubleshooting.

## Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are required to run an on demand scan:

* An existing SharpHound Enterprise [collector client](/collect-data/enterprise-collection/create-collector)
* Logged in as a user assigned a [role](/manage-bloodhound/auth/users-and-roles) authorized to run a collector client on demand scan

## Process

The process to run an on demand scan consists of the following steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Manage Clients page">
    In the left menu, click **Administration** > **Manage Clients**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a collector client">
    On the client that you want to schedule, click the <Icon icon="bars" /> icon in the *Action* column and select **On Demand Scan**.

    <Tip>Verify the client is online by validating **Status** is **Ready**</Tip>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure and start the scan">
    Configure the following details in the **On Demand Scan** window:

    * **Data**: The [type of data](/collect-data/permissions) that the schedule collects
    * **Advanced Options**: See [scanning options](/install-data-collector/install-sharphound/tenant-configuration)

          </Frame>

    Click **Run** to start the scan.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Outcome

The client starts the on demand scan after the next client check-in (usually within one minute).

After it starts, the client status shows **Running a Job**:
