Update previously analyzed assets

If this option is selected, previously analyzed assets are updated when the results of the current analysis are applied. This option takes into account the selected Analysis results apply to option. For example, if descendant assets are to be updated and Update previously is selected, all assets below the analysis asset in the hierarchy are updated, whether they have been analyzed separately or not. If Update previously is not selected, descendant assets are updated until the system identifies an asset that has been analyzed separately. At that point, the update process stops.
