Introduction
A defined collection of items from your monday boards makes up the box scope. Items are automatically synchronized.
Scope type
Depending on the scope type of a given box, the sections on the Scope definition page differ.
Scope type | Description |
|---|---|
own scope | Add monday boards to a box to configure the scope. |
none (portfolio) | Portfolio boxes aggregate contents of children nested within them. They don’t have their own scope |
sub-scope | Sub-scope boxes don’t have their own scope - they display a subsection of an own-scope parent box. |
Scope definition elements - own scope
The table below presents elements and actions you can perform on the Scope definition page.
Element | Description |
|---|---|
Board | Add monday boards to the scope of a box. |
Refresh cache | Can’t see a board on a list? Use the refresh cache button. |
Scope Owner | A Box can contain only the items the Scope Owner can access (viewing access is sufficient). If you try to add items the Scope Owner doesn't have access to, you won't save the scope successfully. |
Task types | You can select which elements are displayed as tasks and on the Gantt timeline and in the task tree. |
Save scope
BigPicture validates the scope. In case of errors, saving the scope fails.
If you define the scope correctly (all tasks exist and filters are NOT corrupted), the total number of tasks is displayed.
You cannot save the scope when:
At least one monday board in the scope definition is incorrect or does NOT exist.
The total number of tasks is greater than the task limit set for boxes.
Recalculate box scope aggregations
Set the time interval in which BigPicture recalculates box scope aggregations. The smaller the value, the higher the performance load for BigPicture. The recommended time is 60 seconds.
Open BigPicture.
Click the wrench button on the right side.
Select Modules.
Navigate to the Overview tab.
Set the time interval in the Box scope aggregation field.
