## About the Scope module
The **Scope module** is a customizable task list. It lets you freely [arrange columns](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211582395), 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/DLP/pages/2211578149) and [export](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=dlp&title=Export%20in%20Overview%20module&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=2212004592) 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/DLP/pages/2211583266).
## Available features
| **Feature** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| [Add task](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211874895) (+) | Use this option to:
- Create new tasks and subtasks as Jira issues and [basic tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211352313).
- Import tasks from a file (requires the BigTemplate app).
- Clone the existing scope.
- Access the *Manage **[scope definition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211646406)* page. |
| Data | Add the following features to all tasks within the box scope:
- [Organize tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211351848) - changes the order of the tasks in all the users' views in an ascending (A-Z) or descending way (Z-A), based on the fields added as columns in the current column view.
- [Scheduling mode](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211580702) - enables auto-scheduling or manual planning.
- [Baselines](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212233564) - creates and displays schedule baselines under your tasks.
- [Group tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211906227) - groups tasks by one or multiple active columns and counts them in each group.
- [Resynchronization](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212004378/Data+Synchronization+with+connected+tools#Resynchronize-(Gantt-and-Scope-module)) - triggers an incremental sync of the box (requires [Box Admin or Box Editor](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211582244) security role). |
| Sort by | Sort your task tree in an ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A) order based on the fields added as columns in the current column view. Unlike the [Organize tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211351848) option, sorting does not affect other users' views. |

- XLSX
- CSV
- PDF image |
| [Manual task structure](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211647869) | You can manually change the position of your tasks. The following options are available from the top menu and by right-clicking on a task.
- Move to top
- Move to bottom
- Move up
- Move down

 |
| [Filters](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211646060) | Mark your favorite filters and filter the list of tasks to see only the items that you are interested in. There are two types of filters:
- Quick Filters - Narrows down the visible scope based on JQL statements.
- Date range - Narrows down the visible scope to the defined period.
- Custom - Combine two values from the dropdowns. |
| Search box | The search box works in two modes:
- TXT - Simple text search based on the **Summary** field.
- JQL - Advanced search using JQL with additional JQL commands added by the App. |
| View | Change the view options:
- Layout:

| [Column views](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212266704) | Add or remove the columns in the current view, then save the changes as a new view. |
| [Edit task](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211582631) | **Right-click** a task to prompt a context menu letting you edit, reposition, and delete a task.
 |
| [Delete task](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212300147) | To delete a task, **right-click** on it and select **Delete** from the context menu. Confirm action with **Delete**.
Alternatively, click a task and then click the **bin **icon. To confirm, click **Delete** again.
> ⚠️ Remember that once you delete a task in BigPicture, it will also be removed from Jira. |
| [Live sync](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=dlpdraft&title=NEW%20Data%20Synchronization%20with%20connected%20tools&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=2024300427) | Jira admins can enable the Live sync feature. It lets you see data changes without refreshing a page. With live sync, your data will be instantly updated when users update their tasks. |
| [Detail view panel](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211711984) | Displays task details similarly to the Jira issue details page. |

- Are not permitted to delete tasks (the **Delete** button is unavailable).
## Scope module in portfolio boxes
You can use the Scope module to visualize the entire scope of your projects across multiple sub-boxes of one portfolio box. To learn more, visit the [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212268773](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212268773) page.
