Inbox

The Inbox is where new or unassigned customer requests, cases, or assignments appear. It acts as a triage area where users can review, claim, and organise incoming work.


Tabs and Filters

At the top of the page:

  • All (12): Shows all unarchived items in the inbox.

  • Flagged (0): Displays items marked for special attention.

  • On Hold (0): Displays items currently paused or waiting on further input.


Toolbar Actions

  • + Add customer request: Opens a form to manually log a new case or customer interaction.

  • Settings: Opens inbox configuration options (e.g., categories, visibility rules).

  • Assign to: Use this to bulk assign cases to yourself or team members.


Inbox Item Details

Each row in the inbox represents a submitted case or request and includes the following:

Best Practices

  • Check your inbox daily to ensure urgent or overdue cases are addressed promptly.

  • Use the flag feature to track high-priority or incomplete cases.

  • Assign incoming work quickly to the appropriate team or person.

  • Clear out resolved or misdirected cases by archiving them.
