Data Scope in Merchandise Plan
We’re excited to introduce Data Scope, a powerful new way to control data visibility across Toolio!
What is Data Scope?
Data Scope defines which subset of your product hierarchy (Eg.,
Division → Department → Class
) a user can access.It ensures users only see and work with data that’s relevant to their role — improving both
security
and efficiency
.Key Highlights
- Granular Access Control – Define visibility by Division, Department, or Class (up to Level 3).
- Hierarchical Filters – Departments must belong to a selected Division, ensuring consistent hierarchy access.
- Flexible Assignment – Apply Data Scope at the RoleorUserlevel:
- Role-Level Scope:Default for all users with that role.
- User-Level Scope:Overrides the role’s scope when defined.
- Admin Management – Only Admins can create, edit, and assign scopes underOrganization Settings → Data Scope.


Available Now in MFP
Data Scope is currently supported in the Merchandise Planning (MFP) module. All MFP actions —
reconcile, seed, merge, etc.
— automatically respect the user’s defined Data Scope. Support for other modules is coming soon.Migration Details
During rollout, all roles start with an “
All
” Data Scope (full access).Admins can then:
- Restrict role-based scopes, or
- Assign specific user-level scopes as needed.
Example Scenarios
- Planner Role: Planner Permissions + Data Scope = Women
- Allocator Role: Allocator Permissions + Data Scope = Men > Clothing > Bottoms
