# Configure Scope in Nightfall for JIRA

Nightfall can scan all Jira item types (Tickets, Attachments, and Comments). Scans will include archived items, but not deleted items. Only fields of type free-text fields are scanned: Summary (title), Description (body), Labels, and all custom fields. Fields such as Assignee, and Reporter, are not scanned.

To configure Policy Scope:

1. Click **+ Add Instances** and select an instance.
2. Select one of the following options under the **Include in Monitoring** section. The scope of this policy is limited to only those categories of tickets which are selected in this section.

* **All Projects:** This option ensures that all the projects in your JIRA environment are monitored by Nightfall.
* **Choose Projects**: This option allows you to select the projects in your JIRA environment that you wish to be monitored by Nightfall.

The **Exclude from Monitoring** section allows you to exclude Projects. You can use this option to exclude projects if you have selected the **All Projects** option in Step 2. 

Click **Next**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/jira/policies/scope.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
