## Introduction

The** Infobar** in the Board module provides information on crucial box content aspects, including:

- Backlog
- Dependencies
- Warnings

## Switch between the tabs

You can easily choose what information the Infobar shows. All you need to do is click on the tab in the upper section of the Infobar. The example below shows the **Backlog** view.

## [Backlog ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297930950)

The **Backlog** is a list of tasks such as new features, changes to existing features, bug fixes, infrastructure changes, or other activities a team may deliver to achieve a specific outcome. Backlog items in this section can be displayed as:

- List of tasks (flat mode)
- Hierarchy of tasks (work breakdown structure mode)

For more information, see the [Backlog](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297930950) page.

## Dependencies

One of Infobar's sections focuses on task dependencies. The dependencies fall into four categories and resemble links configured in [dependency configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298126901).

The **Dependencies** tab contains all information on task dependencies:

- Dependencies between the tasks in the scope of the current box.
- Dependencies between the tasks in the current box and other boxes (indicated by an icon).

### Dependency details

Expand a dependency to see the following information:

- Source task
- Target task
- Task key
- Task dates
- Team code
- Timebox

### Search

The **search bar** allows you to find a specific task (or tasks) whose dependencies you want to inspect.

### Out-of-view dependencies 

A dependency doesn’t appear on the board when at least one task is from an external box. Such dependencies are listed under the **Dependencies out of view** section. 

When you click **Focus on source/target**, you can’t be taken to a task in a different box.

### Filter based on swimlanes

Dependencies are filtered based on the swimlane type and values selected.
