Editing the parent of a scope

When the parent of a scope is updated, the scope query changes. This change effects the membership of both the parent and child scopes. Similar to editing the scope query, these changes are initially saved as ‘draft changes’ and will not go into effect unless they are committed. The user can validate the impact of this change before committing by clicking on “Review query change impact” on the Edit Scope modal. Once validated, the changes can be committed by clicking “Commit” and accepting the “scope moves” and “query changes”.

To edit the parent of a scope:

Procedure

1

Click on the edit button on the respective scope to be edited.

2

Edit the parent for the selected scope.

3

Compare changes between the old and new Draft Query by clicking the Review query change impact link.

4

Click on Save.

5

Click on “Commit” and accept the ‘scope moves’ and ‘query changes’. The update is processed asynchronously in a background task.

6

Depending on the number of workloads this change impacts, this can take a minute or more.
