The [task structure](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297505404) (task hierarchy) can be generated automatically for each box based on its type configuration. You can set a default task structure for each box type, eliminating the need to configure it every time you create a new box.

## Security and access

> ℹ️ The task structure settings are available only if the scope type of a box is set to **Own scope** on the [scope definition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/296982489) configuration page.

Only users with the App Admin [security role](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297765911) can edit the Box types and access the Administration.

To set the default scheduling mode for the box type:

1. Click the **App settings** (wrench icon) in the top right corner.
2. Select** Box types** from the dropdown list.
3. On the Administration page, click a box type name to open its settings.
4. On the box type configuration page, go to **Tasks **> **Task structure**.
