The Box switcher is a mini version of the Hierarchy mode of the Overview module. It shows the Box names and the hierarchy.
Use the Box switcher to switch between different Boxes easily. Once opened, the active Box will be highlighted, so you can easily switch to a sub-box or a different Box.
You will browse only those Boxes to which you have permissions.
The Box switcher is displayed in the Apps header for each module and in the WBS Widget and Skill Widget, which can be added to the issue screen.
Breadcrumbs navigation
You can quickly return to an upper-level Box by clicking on the relevant breadcrumb. This way, you don't have to open the Box switcher drop-down to move between Boxes.
Box Details
The following information is presented for each Box on the list:
Box ID
Box IDs consist of a Box type prefix and a sequential number automatically generated by the App. The Box ID is next to the Box switcher in the Overview module. You can enter the Box ID to search the list of Boxes using the search box located in the Overview module and the Box switcher.
For example, the Hybrid Project’s box ID is HYBR-1, as this is the first Box created using the Hybrid type.
Box Name
Enter the Box name to search the list of Boxes using the search box located in the Overview module and the Box switcher. When a new sibling Box is added, the App will add 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
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).
To narrow the list to your favorite Boxes, click the star button next to the search bar.
You can find the Favorite filters 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.
