Identifying Embedded Scoping Objects

To determine whether a scoping object contains lower-level scoping objects that can accomplish your objective equally well:

• Familiarize yourself with the list of valid scoping objects.
• Preview the expansion of scoping objects when creating or modifying a subset. During both creation and modification procedures, you can see all the lower-level objects that the scoping object includes (including any other scoping objects).

Note: Scoping objects that are contained by other scoping objects receive default expansion unless otherwise noted. If an expanded object is requested twice, it receive the highest protection and highest expansion requested.
