Options
Although there are several common settings, each scan has different configuration options.
Common settings include the scan name, permitting users to control when the scan starts, hiding the scan report from the customer, entering a help URL to display in the scan page, setting-up a scan redirection URL, and enabling logging.
For a breakdown of the options available for each scan type go to Custom Scan Options.
After configuring the options, the next stage for the "Security" and “PCI and Pan Scans” is the "Review".
