In this section, you can preconfigure the Gantt module's default [column views](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298192097) and the inheritance mode for a given box type.
## Inheritance mode
> ℹ️ Changes made to the inheritance mode apply to **ALL** boxes of a given type (existing and newly created).
| **Inheritance mode** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Own** | Each box uses its column views (editable). |
| **Own with Inherited** | Each box uses:
- Its column views (editable).
- Column views created in boxes on the upper level (non-editable). |
| **Inherited only** | Each box uses only column views created in boxes on the upper level (non-editable).
You can use them, but to edit them, you must go to the box in which they were created.
**Note**: The **Column views** tab is hidden in the box configuration. |

## Default column views
### Purpose
When you create a box, default column views are added (per the box type settings). Resulting column views can be later edited in a box.
### Changes
Changes made to the default column views do **NOT **affect existing boxes.
### Portfolio boxes (none scope boxes)
For none scope boxes, the default column views are:
- Essentials Portfolio
- Agile Portfolio
- Classic Portfolio
