Managing inbox notifications

Managing inbox notifications

To start, navigate to the  Main menu  >   > Inbox tab.
  1. The Inbox tab contains a list of the documents submitted by clients, e.g. proposals, pre-work, feedback, etc.
  2. The user who sent the document to the client will receive an email notification from the portal upon submission by the client
  3. A white circle above the Main menu >  icon shows the number of unread notifications; this number is specific to you and not firm-wide
  4. If the document name is bold it means the submitted document has not been downloaded from this tab; normal text means the submitted document has been downloaded
  5. A green paperclip  to the right of the document name indicates that your client has submitted an attachment; hover over the paperclip to view the name of the attachment or click to download it
