Your Inbox contains the tasks and notifications sent to you. Tasks are electronic assignments sent to you as part of a workflow. When you receive a task, you choose whether to accept it or reject it. When you complete a task, you forward it. The workflow notifies the next user in sequence. Tasks can include attached files.
Notifications are messages letting you know when a specific action has occurred on a document. You choose to be notified about certain events by selecting the appropriate notification option in the document’s properties.
In a repository federation, you have one Inbox for the whole federation.
