Understanding the Lefthand Pane of the Scope Editor

The lefthand pane of the Scope Editor window lists every scope in the repository. The table below describes the columns in the lefthand pane.
Column Description
Scope

The name of the scope. Scopes are color-coded as follows:

  • Blue means that the scope is available in the Diagrammer Scope drop-down.
  • Gray means that the scope is not available in the Scope drop-down, because it is hidden or because it is a private scope owned by another user. You can copy a private scope, then edit it as you would your own scope
  • Red means that the scope has no relationships associated with it.
Type

The type of the scope, public or private. The type determines availability of the scope in the Diagrammer Scope drop-down:

  • A public scope is available to every user of the workspace.
  • A private scope is available only to its owner. You can copy a private scope, then edit it as you would your own scope.
Owner The owner of the scope. SYSTEM denotes a default scope.
Hide Whether the scope is hidden in the Diagrammer Scope drop-down. A check mark means that the scope is hidden.
