If you have labeled your targets, you can start the scans for every target with the same label in one step. This is handy for scanning a whole location, or all targets managed by one IT partner.

## Before you start

* Make sure the targets you want to scan have the label. See [Organize your targets with labels](https://help.catcher24.com/hc/help-centre/articles/1790928593-managing).

* The scan starts immediately. There is no confirmation message, so check which targets carry the label first.

## Start the scans

1. In the left-hand menu, under **Vulnerability Management**, click **Targets**.

2. Click the **Labels** tab.

3. (Optional) Click the arrow at the start of the label row to check which targets are linked to it.

4. In the **Actions** column of the label, click the orange **Run** button.

While the scans are running, the label shows **Scanning** instead of the **Run** button.

## Follow the progress

Go back to the **Targets** tab. A **Scans in Progress** section appears at the top with every target that is being scanned, and the status of each scan step (for example *Starting* or *Queued*). When a scan is running, the target in the **Monitored Targets** list shows a square button instead of the orange run button.

When the scan has finished, the target moves back to the list and the **Last scan** date is updated.

## Good to know

* Scans only start for targets that have the label.

* You can also start a scan for a single target with the orange button next to it in the **Monitored Targets** list.
