The tooltip shows the issue key and summary field information and is very useful when the task duration is too short to display both fields.

Hover the pointer over a task to display the tooltip.

In the example below, you can see the tooltip for BPV-42.

- missing permissions
  - in integration (connected tool) Jira (a user doesn't have sufficient Jira permissions to edit tasks)
  - in a box (a user is a viewer only - can't edit tasks)
- The box is closed or archived
  - the box you're in is closed/archived
  - you are in a portfolio box but one of its children is closed/archived (the resources module of the portfolio aggregates tasks from all child boxes)
- [show overall assignment](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298093191) - a task from a different box (overall assignment shows all tasks assigned to a resource. Tasks in the scope of the box you are in can be edited normally. Tasks assigned to the resource in other boxes can't be edited)
