Scan Syntax Reference

This reference guide covers the scan syntax for all scan clauses supported by our Scan Engine. Once you've learned the basics of “speaking scan syntax” from our Support Center article on Writing Scans, this resource will help you expand your scanning vocabulary.

We've divided the Scan Syntax Reference into several different sections, based on the category of scan expression or clause:

For each particular expression or clause, we show the proper syntax, including any parameters that you might need to specify, which operators can be used and any other information you might need to successfully use that scan syntax. We also give an example of each for you to study.

For more examples of individual scan clauses and complete scans, we strongly recommend you also check out our Advanced Scan Library.
