# Configure pinned scopes

> Learn how to configure pinned scopes in Cortex XCOR.

[Pinned scopes](/navigate/pinned-scopes) define a set of consistent criteria for
users to select a subset of data. Scopes are used in several sections in Palo Alto
Networks Cortex XCOR.

Click the **Pin scopes** box in a supported page to display the configured scopes.
To select a scope, click it.

## Create a pinned scope

To create a scope:

1. In the navigation menu, click **<Icon icon="shield-user" /> Go to Admin**
   and then select
   **Platform <span aria-label="and then">></span> Scope Configuration**.
2. Click **<Icon icon="plus" /> Create**.
3. Add values to the following fields:
   * **Label name**: A valid PromQL label used to resolve values for the variable
     and injected into queries.
   * **Series selector**: A PromQL series selector that limits the resolved label
     values.
4. Click **Reload** to preview the matching label values.
5. Click **Save**.

## Edit a scope

To edit a scope:

1. Click the **<Icon icon="pencil" /> Edit variable** icon in the row with the
   scope name.
2. Update the **Label name**, **Series selector**, or **Default value**.
3. Click **Save**.

## Delete a scope

To delete a scope, click the **<Icon icon="trash-2" /> Delete variable** icon in
the row with the scope name, and then click **Delete**.
