Default scope and supported scope

You add a scope to the asset import job to gather more specific asset data.
You can scope the assets in the following ways:
  • Use the default scope
    The default scope includes the primary assets for the asset type that you want to include. You import the selected asset type from the primary asset for that asset type.
  • Use any or all the supported scopes
    The supported scopes include all the asset types or sites from which you can import the selected asset type.
