# Virtual Context Scopes

Starting in Summer '18, virtual context scopes enable you to create context mappings to virtual objects. Virtual context scopes and virtual objects enable you evaluate data entered by the user at run time that is stored only in memory, such as pricing adjustment data. The Summer '18 release contains one supported virtual object, AdjustmentData, that is used for context rules for pricing adjustments.

**Virtual Context Scopes**

![To create a virtual context scope, go to General Properties and set the Scope Type property to Virtual.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-comms_media_energy_managed-264-0-0-production-enus/ff4079f6-a384-475c-b863-578bbbb0ef9b/resources-product/images/adjustment_data_virtual_scope.jpg)

The entity for a virtual context scope is the virtual object name. There are no entity paths used for virtual context scopes.

This feature is also known as contextual adjustments. You can also evaluate other data, such as the originating channel field on the order. Starting in the Fall '18 release, you can define maximum adjustment amounts or percentages, and also create pricing adjustment rules for specific products. Or you can disable pricing adjustments altogether.").
