Once you are presented with the Folio creation dialog, you can proceed with Folio creation in various ways. Image Added

These options mainly determine how the Folio's scope will be defined.

Info
titleFolio scope

The Folio scope is a list of JIRA issues, defined by a JIRA saved filter. When a Folio is created, FOLIO automatically creates a saved filter owned by the user creating the Folio. The filter can be seen in the folio's configuration, under the Scope tab. The filter is private by default but can easily be shared by editing the shares of the saved filter. Unless the folio is associated with an Agile board, the query of the saved filter can be modified at any time.
