| Forecast | Turn forecasting Off/On |
| Mapping | Turn mapping Off/On |

Configure team settings |
 /  |
Enter or exit full screen mode |
 /  |
Expand or collapse one level of the tree hierarchy |
 |
Email a copy of your backlog |

Turn filtering On/Off |
Important
If you set the In progress control to Hide, then items that are no longer in the New, Approved, or Proposed states won't appear in the backlog.
Even if you have show parents turned on, the Create query and mail controls will only list items at the currently selected level.
