Introduction
Column Views allow you to add different fields and configure their display and aggregation settings, determining how data is presented in the Scope type module's task list.
Each Box type has a predefined list of Column Views, which you can edit or create new ones. Sub-level Boxes can also inherit column Views.
Configuration
To configure Column Views go to Box configuration > Scope type module (Scope is the default module name used) > Column Views.
To configure the default views and the inheritance mode, go to App's administration > Box types > select a Box type > Scope (Scope is the default module name used) > Column Views.
Only a user with a minimum Box, admin security role can access and manage the Box configuration.
Only a user with a minimum App admin security role can access and manage the Administration.

The Card View configuration page will not be visible if the Gantt module is not active or the Inheritance mode is set to 'inherited only.' |

Active Column View
If you apply one of the available views from the Column View drop-down, it becomes "Active," and a green checkmark will show up next to its name in the Box configuration. This means that whenever a user opens the module or returns to it, that view will be applied.
Inheritance mode
The Column Views can be inherited by the sub-level Boxes when the Inheritance mode is set to "Inherited only" or "Own with inherited" in the Box type configuration of the upper-level Box. This way, every time you create new views or edit the existing ones, all available views will be updated in the sub-level Boxes as well.
To learn more about the inheritance mode, go to Scope Column Views (Box types).
Default Column Views
When the "Inheritance mode' is set to "Own" or "Own with inherited," App Admins can create the default Column Views, which will be used every time a new Box of a given type is created.
To learn more about the inheritance mode, go to Scope Column Views (Box types).
Changing the view
The Column View drop-down shows the list of available views. To switch between the views, click on one of the names. The currently used view will be displayed on the Column View button:

Editing and creating views
Box editors can dynamically change the fields displayed as columns, while Box admins can additionally save changes to the current view.

We recommend using the 'Built-in" type of fields which display field values from all synchronized fields in Jira and connected tools. For example, the "Start date" built-in field shows the date values from all fields mapped as the start date in the Field mapping and from connected tools, such as Trello. |
To add or remove a column, click the 'cog' icon on the far right of the task list header. You can add the same fields multiple times. Use the search box to find the fields you want to add and click the 'bin' icon to remove fields from the list:

Once the view is modified, a red asterisk will appear next to the view name, and the Box admin will be able to save changes to the active view or save it as a new one:

Column configuration
Box admin, editor and viewer can change the aggregation settings.
Data from various fields can be aggregated at the parent task level, or for most fields; you can change the way it is presented. For example, the status field has different aggregation options, and one of the most useful is the "Children status categories %" which shows the task distribution in status categories:

Another example, using the Time tracking progress, you can display the task progress in a variety of ways like 'Progress with %':

Favorite views
You can mark your favorite views using the star, and your views will be displayed in a separate section of the drop-down:
