You can change the terminology and rename modules. To avoid confusion check the module icon which is unalterable.

The Scope module is a customizable task list. Using this module you can freely arrange columns, switch between views, and show aggregated values.

You can also update your tasks directly using the interface and for example, use it as a Backlog. Another common example is using for reporting.

The multi-level hierarchies, quick filters, and advanced aggregation are the key features of this module.

One of the most useful features in this view is the advanced aggregations. For example: at each parent level set the "Children in status categories %" to measure the progress based on Jira status categories. If you want to have different aggregations of the same field in one view, you can add the same field multiple times.
