Changing Box Type settings can function in three ways:

...

• A change applies only to boxes created from that point on - existing boxes are not affected

...

• For example, changing a Tasks > Scope definition (Box types).

• Tasks > Quick filters functioning:

  For example, you have a Program-type Box called "My Project." It contains three Program Increment Boxes.

  The "Program Increment" Box type is set up

• with quick filters "Own with Inherited." This means that the same filters available in the "My Project" Box (the parent of the Increment) are available in sub-Boxes, + you can create new quick filters directly in Program Increments.

  You are inside the Box Configuration of one of the Program Increments in the picture below. Inherited filters are marked with an arrow. When you hover a mouse over any

  You can no longer use the "Program Increment Filter" → only inherited filters are available. The tab that allows setting up filters for the Increment is hidden and cannot be accessed.

• This means filters from the Home (root) Box + Filters from the "My Project" Box.

  The "Program Increment" Box type can be nested under the "Program" type.
