# Configure Scope in Nightfall for JIRA

Learn how you can configure the Scope section while creating a policy 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**.
