Scopes

A scope defines a set of domain elements and or events based on several criteria.

The following types of scopes are available:

Domain element scopes

Domain element scopes are scopes defined by a set of domain elements. Domain element scopes can be constraint-based or union-based. A constraint-based scope is used when there are one or more properties shared between the members of the set.

Event scopes

Event scopes are scopes defined by a set of events and variables within those events. Event scopes can be constraint-based or union-based.

Constraint-based scopes

A constraint-based scope is defined by a set of elements that meet specified criteria. Both domain element scopes and event scopes can be of the constraint-based scope type.

Union-based scopes

A union-based scope is defined by the union of at least two existing scopes. Both domain element scopes and event scopes can be of the union-based scope type.
