--- title: "Scope module" canonical: "https://support.appfire.com/space/BPEdc/2534670926/Scope%20module" format: markdown --- ## About the Scope module > Macro (iframe) The **Scope module** is a customizable task list. It lets you freely [arrange columns](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534703728), switch between views, and show aggregated values. Double-click on a column's edge to adjust its width to the longest record in the current view. You can also [edit task details inline](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534802721) and [export](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534540537) the view for reporting. The module's key features are the multi-level hierarchies, quick filters, and [advanced aggregation](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2534409183). ![Screenshot of the Scope module.](media://0ac61334-583e-419d-8dba-40f8f038a246) ## Available features | **Feature** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | [Add task](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BPEdc/pages/2533818964) (+) | Use this option to:
