Scan Missions

The Scan Missions page provides a dual-view interface for managing web accessibility scanning missions. It offers both an active missions dashboard (cards view) and a comprehensive data table (all view) for complete mission management. This is the central command center for organizing, tracking, and executing accessibility audits across your web properties.

Quick Start

Click New Mission to create a scanning mission. Use the Active Missions view to monitor ongoing work, or switch to Show All for complete mission management with search, filtering, and bulk operations.

View Modes

The page operates in two distinct modes, each optimized for different workflows:

Cards View (Active Missions Dashboard)

The default view displays active, non-completed missions as visual cards. Each card shows mission status, progress metrics, and quick actions. This view is ideal for daily monitoring and mission oversight.

All View (DataTable)

A comprehensive table showing all missions with advanced search, filtering, sorting, and bulk operations. This view provides complete mission management capabilities including archiving, reordering, and detailed status tracking.
