What's the difference between query scope and create scope?

Query scope determines the configurations in which you want to search for data. Create scope determines the configuration in which you can create and update objects.

You can select any number of configurations to query against, but you can only select one configuration to be your create scope.

  1. Click File > Set Active Scope.

  2. In the Query scope list, select one or more configurations in which you want to search for objects.

    • Only configurations to which you have query access are in the list.

    • When you select a configuration in the Query scope list that is also a valid create configuration for the selected role, that configuration is added to the Create scope list.

    • You can filter your query scope list by selecting a status in the Status filter box. Only the configurations with a matching status appear in the list.

    • By default, when you query a project, you see what is in the project and the plant it belongs to. You can use the Query by selected configurations only option to restrict queries to only the selected configurations and not higher configurations. For example, if you select Project1 in PlantA with this option selected, the queries return only data from Project1, not from PlantA.

  3. In the Selected roles list, verify the roles you want to use are selected.

  4. Under Create scope, select the plant or project in which you want to create and modify objects.

    • You can select only one plant or project for the create scope.

    • To set the create scope for the top-level configuration, select the Scope Not Set option. System administrators can use this setting for creating configuration-independent items, such as administration items.

SHARED Tip You can also set your active configuration by role. For more information, see Set the active configuration by role.
