The boxes in Hierarchy mode are represented in a table showing a hierarchy of boxes and their attributes.

> ℹ️ <span style="color: #333333">When a filter is applied, and upper-level boxes do not fit the filter criteria, they will be greyed out and still shown on the list.</span>

## Box hierarchy

The box hierarchy next to the name column consists of Program type > Program Increment type > Iteration. Using drag-and-drop, you can move boxes up and down the hierarchy (you have to 'grab' a task on the left end of the item line).

Using drag and drop, you can easily organize boxes into, for example, portfolios:

## Editing boxes

box admins can use the right-click menu to change a box's status, delete a box, or duplicate the configuration.

## box name link

## box leader link

By default, the box leader has access to the configuration of the Program-type box. Clicking on the Link will redirect you to the user details page.

The Program leader role can be assigned to a Project Manager or a Project Sponsor.

## Favorite

Mark the box as a favorite to find it easily later. Each user's list of favorite boxes is unique. 

## Working with filters

If you see an empty box, please check the enabled filters in the top right corner. Active filters are marked with an orange dot.
