Task structure (Box types)

The task structure (task hierarchy) can be generated automatically for each box according to your specifications. A full description of how structure builders work can be found here.

You can set a default task structure for each box type so that you do NOT have to set it up every time you create a new box.

The Program and Classic boxes are set to a custom template: "Project > Epic > Sub-task" by default. Other boxes have a custom template set to "Epic > Sub-task" by default.

Keep in mind:

  • A box type contains the default settings applicable to multiple boxes (all boxes of a given type). The settings are adjusted in Administration > Box types.

  • Box configuration refers to the settings of an individual box and is dependent on the box type settings.
