You can discover applications based on user defined criteria such as virtual machine names, tags, or properties (rule-based applications). For example, if the application definition is assigned to a cluster compute resource called 'xyz', then the applications would be discovered only within that cluster. The object scope assignments can be made to both service based application definitions and rule based application definitions.
