About basic box settings
The basic box details include such attributes as the box type name, icon, and description. They are displayed in the Overview module and the box switcher.
Box configuration refers to the settings of an individual box, which are based on the box type settings.
Icon and color
Color-code your Box icons - this feature makes it easy to categorize your Boxes and identify their content at first glance. A colored icon is displayed in both the Overview module and in the Box switcher, making finding a particular Box easy and quick. In addition, you are not beholden to the default settings resulting from the Box type configuration, as you can manually override them at any point.
Box Name
The Box's name comes in handy when you're searching for it using filters in the Overview module or the Box switcher search. You can organize your Boxes and sort them by the Box name. The Box name appears in all modes of the Overview module as a column or on the Box tile. It is also displayed in the Box switcher.
