-## Scopes
+## Reusable Queries

+### Custom Finder Methods
+In Wheels, models don’t support `scope()` like Rails.  
+Instead, you can define **custom finder methods** that wrap `findAll()` or `findOne()` with your common conditions.
 
-### Named Scopes
 ```cfml
-function config() {
-    scope(name="active", where="status = 'active'");
-    scope(name="recent", where="createdAt > #createDate()#", order="createdAt DESC");

+    return findAll(

+        where = "createdAt > #createDate()#",
+        order = "createdAt DESC"
+    );
+}
+
+
 // Usage
-activeUsers = model("User").active().findAll();
-recentOrders = model("Order").recent().findAll();
+activeUsers = model("User").findActive();
+recentUsers = model("User").findRecent();
