Tips:

You cannot modify partial scope links.
You can remove a partial scope link by right-clicking the item and clicking Remove Partial Item-Product Scope in the context menu. It removes the partial scope link but does not affect the lower implement links. The command is available only if the item holds a partial scope link (solved or broken).
You can reconnect existing lower partial scope links by right-clicking the item and clicking Reconnect Item-Product Scope in the context menu. When a partial scope link is broken, an orange dotted semicircle icon appears on the item node in the tree and a red icon appears on the tile of the item.
You can Create Scope on items holding a partial scope link to the product. However, creating a full Item-Product scope link overwrites the partial scope link. In this case, a dialog box open, click Yes to confirm the creation of the full scope link and remove the partial scope link.
