Inbox

Overview

The Inbox menu is crafted to display all assigned activities and streamline access to pending tasks. It comprises various sections to aid in performing, managing, and overseeing your processes.

 

If the logged-in user has not been designated as a Persona, their default view is the Inbox. Access to the Me menu is exclusive to users defined as Personas. Once a user is associated with a Persona definition, the Me menu becomes their default view.

 

The main screen is segmented into three sections: Main menu, Case area and Pending activities.

All assigned cases are visible in the Inbox, and by default, they present the following information.

This information is customizable based on your specific requirements. For more details, refer to customize and parametrize columns.

 

Creation Number

Case identifier.

Process/Plan

Process to which the current Activity belongs. If the Activity is part of a Plan, the Plan name is used.

Activity

Pending activity assigned to the logged-in user.

Case creation date

Creation date of the case.

Case due date

Solution date of the case.

Activity due date

Expiration date of the current Activity based on the expected Activity duration.

Task State

The task states are indicated by three colors, determined by the elapsed time since the Activity was created in conjunction with the duration time defined for the task.

WorkPortal4 Green: indicates the Activity is on time.

WorkPortal6 Yellow: indicates the Activity is at risk. A task is considered at risk when the remaining time before expiration is equal to or less than the defined in the Risk signal property of processes. By default, the risk signal is set to 24 hours.

WorkPortal5 Red: indicates the Activity has expired and is overdue.

 

The Inbox offers two distinct views: Details and Grid. You can switch between them at any time by selecting the view icon located below the Logout option.

 

For both Details and Grid views, you have the flexibility to customize the number of rows per page in your Inbox. At the top right, click Results per page and choose from options such as 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 100. If the height of the browser cannot accommodate the selected number of results, the work area displays a scroll bar.

It's worth noting that if you apply a filter in the case area, the selected number of rows per page persists.

Grid view

In the Grid view, the Inbox presents the main information in a table format. Each row in the table represents a pending case. Clicking View Summary allows you to access additional information about a specific case without actually opening the case itself.

Live Filters

For each Inbox, whether it's a Smart or regular Inbox, users can apply additional filters known as Live Filters by clicking the filter icon located at the top-right corner of the Inbox.

By default, all the Smart Inboxes display the case number, the process, and the activity using the sorting defined in the Smart Inbox.

 

The same icon is displayed on the tablet's grid view. Filters cannot be applied on mobile devices using the List view. These Live Filters persist at the browser level, meaning that users must create filters independently on the mobile device.

You can access a case's Timeline directly by clicking the timeline icon on the case's record. In this screen, you have visibility of the entire case, viewing in a graphical way the activities launched, the users involved, and the time spent in every activity of a case. It's important to note that the timeline displayed through this option does not cover the Process map and Activity map options.

This feature is not available for Live Process cases.

Go back to Inbox

When a user completes working on a task and there are no further pending cases, Bizagi displays the following screen:

 

WorkPortal38

 

If the user clicks the Go back to inbox button, Bizagi redirects the user to the last section they were working on before finishing the task. For example, if the user was working on BAM reports, accessed the task from there, and then clicks Go back to inbox, Bizagi returns the user to the BAM report section. Another example is if the user was in a process inbox, accessed the task from there, and then clicks Go back to inbox, Bizagi returns the user to the process inbox.
