Scope

Use this list to limit the scope of the current hierarchy:

• Project: traces usages of the method across the project.

• Test: traces usages of the method across the test classes.

• All: traces usages of the method across the project and the libraries.

• This class: limits the scope to the current class.

In addition to the preconfigured scopes, you can define your own one. To define a scope, select Configure from the list, and define the required scope in the Scopes dialog.
