Box type settings affect the availability of tabs in Box Configuration and the functioning of the Box (greyed-out options, unavailable features, hidden tabs).
Box type Module Availability
To be able to change module settings, you first have to make sure a given module is active for a Box type. Otherwise, the module itself won't be available for Boxes of a given type. In such a situation, relevant tabs are also missing from Box Configuration.

If you set the mode to "Inherited only" the resulting Box won't have its setup, so the related tab is removed, as it would be redundant. |

When you create a new box of a specific box type (for example, an Agile Project), some tabs and options on the box configuration page of your new box can be unavailable or missing because they depend on the configuration of the box type.
Modules availability
In the box type configuration settings, you can enable or disable certain modules. Consequently, if you disable some modules for a specific box type, they will not be available (grayed out) in the new boxes by default. However, a Box Admin can enable them in the new box.

Unavailable box configuration tabs
Inheritance mode
Some settings tabs on the box configuration page can be missing due to the inheritance mode applied to the box type. If you set the inheritance mode of the box type to Inherited only, the affected settings will not appear in the new box setup.
The table below presents the box configuration tabs affected by the inheritance mode.

Scope type (Tasks)
When the scope of a box type is set to Sub scope, the scope of the new box will always be a subset of the scope already defined at an upper level of the Box box hierarchy (the upper-level Box box must have "Own" scopeits scope set to Own).
Task-related settings:
can't be changed for the Box type
limits available
Task structure
Scope definition
Task Period mode
Workload contouring
Greyed out
Teams
Modification of Box type settings changes available actions in the Teams module.
...
Scheduling (Tasks)
The box types with their scope definition set to Sub-scope will also cause the new boxes to inherit the scheduling mode from their parent (upper-level boxes).
The scheduling mode option in such a box will be grayed out, and you will not be able to change it.
...
Workload contouring (Tasks)
The box types with their scope definition set to Sub-scope will also cause the new boxes to inherit the workload contouring mode from their parent (upper-level boxes).
