Can I start a manual scan during scheduled scan with Client Security or Server Security?

Issue:

Can I start a manual scan when an scheduled scan is already running with Client Security or Server Security. Can a scheduled scan and a manual scan overlap or run simultaneously? 

Resolution:

Multiple scans can be set to overlap or run simultaneously, so you can run a manual scan at the same time when a scheduled scan is already ongoing on a Client Security or Server Security device. You can even have two or more scheduled scans running at the same time if you have configured them to do so. 

Keep in mind that the more scanning tasks that are running simultaneously, the more system resources are used by the scans, which can lead to slow performance on the device.
