• Scope - Choose Event as the scope if you want the data to be associated with specific events. Choose User as the scope if you want that data to be associated with specific users. E.g. Payment Method, Sales Channel, ShippingMethod. Order Name would make sense as Event scoped data. While the location data may make more sense as User scoped data.
• Description - Optional text that describes the data
