Box switcher

The box switcher, located in the upper-left corner of the application, displays the name of the current Box you are viewing. When you click it, a drop-down list containing the Box hierarchy tree is displayed. You can then select a specific Box from the hierarchy to switch to.

Use the box switcher to switch between different boxes easily. Once opened, the active box is highlighted, so you can easily switch to a sub-box or a different box.

You can only browse through the boxes for which you have permission.

The box switcher is displayed in the App’s header for each module and in the WBS Widget and Skill Widget, which can be added to the issue screen.

Breadcrumbs navigation

Above the box switcher, you can see the breadcrumbs trail: a path that leads from the root box to the current box, showing every level between. Each element is a clickable link, leading to the corresponding level.

Box details

The following information is presented for each box on the list:

Box ID

The box IDs are composed of a box type prefix and a sequential number generated automatically by the App. These IDs are displayed next to the box switcher within the Overview module. You can input the box ID into the search box situated in the Overview module alongside the box switcher to find a specific box.

For example, the Hybrid Project’s box ID is HYBR-1, as this is the first box created using the Hybrid type.

Box Name

In the Overview module and the box switcher, you can search for a specific box by entering its name. Whenever a new sibling box is included, the app automatically appends a number to the description.

For example, if the box name is "Iteration," the automatically generated name of a same-level box would be "Iteration 1."

Box Status

The box status is displayed next to the box name in the box switcher. You can change the box status in different sections of the App. In the Overview module, use the right-click or drag-and-drop option when in Kanban mode. You can also change the status using the Board module or in the Scope definition tab of the box configuration.

The status is indicated using colors, and the following color-coded statuses are available:

Not started = gray
In progress = blue
Done = green

Favorite Star

Mark boxes as your favorite and filter out all other boxes using the switcher or the filters in the Overview module.

Hierarchy

The box hierarchy can be modified in the Hierarchy mode of the Overview module. You can expand and collapse it to see the desired level of information.

Home Button

Use the home button to navigate back to the Home screen.

Searching boxes

If you can't find what you are looking for by scrolling, use the search bar. It works with the box name and ID.

Filtered view in box switcher

Favorite boxes

In the filtered view, the tree structure of boxes is not shown (only the boxes that match a filter).

Click the star button next to the search bar to narrow the list to your favorite boxes.

The Favorite filters are found in the box switcher and the Overview module.

Security and access

The box switcher is always displayed in the left corner. Click to expand the drop-down.
To view the boxes, you need a box Viewer security role.
