The following table lists and describes the access scope enum values for the Source Scope:Get method:
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
| invalid scope | The item is an invalid value. The item is visible whenever the read function receives an error and causes an error to occur if you pass the item to a write function. |
| public | The item is visible when users view the project library. Other VIs and applications can call public VIs. |
| private | The item does not appear visible when users view the project library or palettes if you lock the project library. Other VIs and applications that the project library does not own cannot call a private VI. |
