The Types Panel
Summary: 

The Types Panel lists all
Task Types
that can appear in the
Tasks Panel
. You can use Types to:
• Limit the task types displayed in the Tasks Panel.
• Limit the types of tasks that can be entered in the Tasks panel.
Tip: Types limits Tasks for ALL programs active in the tasks panel. Tip: The Types counters show the available task types in the view. If a type is not selected, and its counter is not zero(blank), Tasks of that type are hidden from the Tasks Panel Display. Note: Types are a basic feature. Almost everyone will use them.
What Actions Can I Take?
Select / Deselect
You can select and deselect one or more Types to filter the Tasks Panel by those types.
What Does The Counter Represent?
The Count of Tasks Available in the Program of that Type.
What Filters Can I Use?
None.
Why Don't All Task Types Appear In My Program?

The full set of Runcible Task Types is limited by:
The set of task types you configure in the Workflow Editor.

...then: The set of task types you choose in the Program -> Settings -> Card Configuration Tab.

***...then*: The set of task types that you choose to filter by in the Types Panel**.

So, for example:
Lets say that you want to use an agile-style workflow that someone else has configured. So you select it as the workflow for your program.
But you don't want to use financial tasks. So in the Program->Settings -> Card Configuration tab, you Select only Stories and Tasks, and deselect the rest of the task types.
And you only want to see stories in the Outline View, so you select just "Stories" in the Types Panel.
And so you close all the Panels except for the Tasks and Task Detail Panel. Then you save the Workspace.
So now when you open that workspace, you'll see just the Tasks Panel, Task Detail Panel, and a list of stories, without having to construct a custom workflow. And whenever the Author of the workflow updates the workflow's Stories and Tasks, your program will be updated as well.
