Turn recurring web scans into timely assignments
Give useful findings from routine monitoring a path into course work, with a scheduled review that creates assignments when warranted.

Why this helps
Regular monitoring can produce more findings than you can manually review and convert into activities.
- Review scan results on a recurring schedule.
- Create an assignment only when a result supports a useful activity.
- Reduce the backlog of findings waiting for course preparation.
