# forceThreadScan

Whether to force a network scan before requesting Thread credentials. The default is NO.

## Declaration

```swift
var forceThreadScan: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Even if this value is NO a scan may still be performed. This value will be ignored if a Thread operational dataset is provided or not needed. NOTE: Not all APIs that take MTRCommissioningParameters pay attention to this flag.
