Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
Resource-related settings
In this section, you can preconfigure the default resource settings of a given box type.
These include the following:
Team allocation
Team inheritance
Configurable story point conversion ratio
Whenever you add a new box, you can select a box type - the default box type settings are applied to a newly created box.
Changing the configuration might turn off (hide) settings or features in the box configuration and within different modules.
Security and access
Only users with the App admin security role can manage box types and access Administration.
To access this page:
Click the wrench icon at the top right and select Box types from the drop-down list.
Click a box type name to select it and open its settings.
On the left, go to Resources > Basics tab.

If the option was previously active, all teams which were automatically allocated to the Boxes of that type remain unchanged, but now they can be manually "Unassigned" from a lower level.
