Adding a union-based scope

For a union-based scope, select the individual scopes that the new (union) scope comprises.

About this task

Note: The selection of both a parent and child scope in the creation of a union scope is not valid because the parent scope already encompasses the child scope, thus making a “union” of the two inapplicable. For example, since “Everything” is the parent to all other scopes, it cannot be selected when defining a union scope because it is redundant to attempt to create a union between “Everything” and a child scope which is already included in “Everything”.
