Segment policies can be configured with the following wildcard options.

## Network wildcards

-   **Client Cross-origin Scripts**

    Enables client-side requests to load an external script resource.

-   **Inbound Cross Scope Request**

    Enables access to API resources in different application scopes.

    Enables runtime access to ServiceNow global APIs.

-   **Server Outbound Request**

    Enables outbound call to an external host, such as a call made from a script include.


## Scripting wildcards

-   **Script Includes**

    Enables unrestricted calls to script includes defined in other application scopes. For more information about script includes, see [Script includes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/scripts/c_ScriptIncludes.md).
