Box Types - General - Basics

Box type name

A Box type name:

• appears in the drop-down used for selecting a Box type (during creation of a new Box)

• is available as a Box type filter

• is displayed in a column in the Overview module

• is listed in a column in the Box types tab of Administration; a Box type name works as a clickable link to the Box type editing page.

Icon an color

Icon and color are the default when a box of a given time is created. Icon and color can be changed for an individual existing box.

Changing a color and icon of a Box type doesn't impact existing Boxes - only Boxes created after a Box type configuration has been updated will be affected.

Prefix

Every time you create a new Box, the App will use a prefix + a generated number to create a unique Box ID. The prefix length cannot exceed 5 characters.

Description

An additional description field allows you to summarise the configuration of a Box type or add instructions on when it should be used.

Parent types

Parent Box types determine how you can build the Box hierarchy (nest Boxes).
