what's the difference between Last Seen and Last Active Scan

[ReedMunson]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to use Lansweeper as a source of truth for our inventory. Using various reports, I'm seeing different scan date fields -- What's the difference between these three fields?

• Last Seen
• Last Active Scan
• Last successful Scan

Thanks!

Thank you this is helpful -

What is the difference between last successful scan and last seen?

Hello there!

For "Last successful Scan", it is best to check the SQL query in your report to see which database field it references. In most cases, this will be the tblAssets.Lastseen. Which is already covered in the QTS that I linked earlier.
