All received faxes and Direct messages arrive in My Intake. There are multiple ways of filtering those messages, including rules, filters, and sorting.
Here is an example of an admin's Intake, viewed by Rules and filtered by Processed status:
View
The default View for account admins is All, but can be switched to By Rules, to see My Intake filtered by specific Intake Rules, or by Unassigned, meaning messages that are not assigned to a user through an Intake Rule.
The only View option for users is By Rules.
By Rules
Rules route a message or batch to a user or group of users. There is one “system” rule called “Assigned To Me.” This rule is present for all users by default and displays batches or messages assigned to “My Intake” by that particular user in the batch upload or triage process.
For batches or messages other than those assigned to “My Intake,” there are two other types of rules. These are called Message rules and Triage rules, and will appear under the “My Rules” section on the right. They are created by the account administrator and route a message or batch based on one of the following:
To or From address, Direct address or Fax number
A user or group of users
