Scope 

This field indicates the parts of the project that the Audits will be run against. Use the drop down arrow to set the Scope for either the current Selection or for the entire Model.

If you choose Model, audits are processed for the entire project.

The descriptions include brief explanations of what the audit looks for, examples of violations, and advice on how to correct the code.
