Can I force a mcas file policy to run on-demand?

Hi Denis, 

This capability is not available today but function we're planning on introducing in the product. 

1. The best way to test a file policy is to create a policy scoped to a specific user and/or application and then upload a file containing a sensitive information type. Once it's uploaded - you could search for it in the files page and see if it's been scanned and if there is match. 

2. We don't provide time frames however if you go to the files page -> click on a file -> you'll be able to see if it was scanned. 

3.On-demand scans are a functionality we're currently investigating and planning on bringing into the product. 

4. I would recommend looking at this document to see what the criteria is for us to identity a sensitive information type.
