When you navigate to the OKR module at the Home box level, you will see all available Objectives and Key results.
When you go to the module within a specific box, you will see only the OKRs associated with that box. There are 2 ways how OKRs can be linked to a box:
- By linking specific Jira tasks to the OKR, OKRs associated with tasks from the box will be visible in the module.
- Manually selected OKRs that will be visible in this particular box (use the **[Link to Box](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918834116)** button at the top-right corner).
The video presents a short overview of the OKR module. |
