All these properties are optional.

* By default title contains the name of selected child kanban. You can change this title - it will not affect the child kanban, just show another text in the kanban container.

{% hint style="info" %}
This can be useful when several containers have the same title due to the same child kanbans.
{% endhint %}

* Set API name if necessary. Hover mouse on "i" icon to see restrictions in the tooltip.
* Populate description, if needed.
* Check "Hide Columns Header" checkbox if you do not want to see columns and groups headers.

{% hint style="info" %}
Child Kanban Name (7) is a link that opens child kanban in editor in the new browser tab.
{% endhint %}

Input and Output relations will be shown after you [configure connections](https://docs.flexikanban.ai/composite-kanban/connections-between-kanbans) with other child kanbans.
