My Inbox

The My Inbox view in Unifize is designed to help you stay on top of everything that requires your attention. It provides a focused list of action items, open conversations/records, and tasks you’re involved in—eliminating the need to navigate across multiple records or modules.


What is My Inbox?

My Inbox is your personal task and activity dashboard. It surfaces records and conversations that are relevant to you—whether you're an assignee, participant, or have been mentioned in a conversation.

This includes:

  • Records with open checklist items assigned to you

  • Conversations where you're an active participant

  • Items waiting on your input, such as approvals or comments

  • Threads you've been @mentioned in


To access My Inbox:

  1. Go to the main navigation bar on the left.

  2. Click on My Inbox — located next to Homescreen.

  3. The inbox will display a real-time list of all conversations and records requiring your attention.


Each item in My Inbox is an active record or conversation. From here, you can:

  • Open any record by clicking on it

  • See a snapshot of recent messages, updates, or checklist progress

  • Take action directly from the thread—such as reviewing a checklist item, responding to a message, or uploading a file


  • Use My Inbox as your default landing page to stay up to date

  • Regularly clear out completed or resolved items for a focused view

  • Prioritize based on urgency and pending actions within each record

As soon as you log in, the Homescreen gives you a high-level overview of your work—so you can act quickly, stay aligned with your team, and never miss a critical update.

    Direct Messages

    Direct Messages in Unifize offer a private, one-on-one communication channel between users on the org. Unlike conversations within records, direct messages are not connected to any process, checklist, or workflow. They're ideal for quick clarifications, private updates, or side conversations that don’t require full team visibility or traceability.

    Direct messages are accessible from multiple locations within Unifize and support attachments and external email delivery for added flexibility.


    How to Use

    Accessing the Direct Messages Panel

    To access your Direct Messages panel:

    • Go to the left-hand Nav Bar.

    • Click on the message icon at the bottom to open the Direct Messages view.

    This panel shows your list of ongoing private conversations.


    You can start a Direct Message in several ways:

    1. From the Direct Messages panel

      • Click + New

      • Search for a teammate by name or scroll through the user list

      • Select the user and start typing your message


    • Type your message and hit Enter to send.

    • Click the attachment icon to upload and send files (e.g., images, PDFs, documents).

    • Click Send as Email if you want your message to also be delivered to the user’s email inbox.

    Files shared in DMs are only visible to you and the recipient and are not linked to any record.


    • Keep it focused: Use DMs for quick or informal updates not tied to a record.

    • Move decisions into records: If a conclusion is reached, document it within a relevant record for visibility and traceability.

    • Use "Send as Email" selectively: Ideal for critical updates when you need to notify someone outside their current Unifize session.

    • Avoid using DMs for regulated actions


    The Direct Messages feature in Unifize gives you a flexible way to privately message any teammate on the platform. With support for file sharing and optional email delivery, it’s a powerful complement to record-based collaboration—perfect for quick conversations that don’t need to be tied to a workflow.

    When the topic is process-related or requires traceability, always bring the conversation back into a record.

    From the Global Search Bar

    • Enter the name of the user

    • Click on the profile and select Message to open a direct conversation

  • From My Inbox > New > Others > Direct Message

    • Go to My Inbox

    • Click + New > Others

    Dashboard

    The Dashboard view in Unifize is your visual command center for monitoring real-time performance across your processes. It serves as a collection of dashboards, where each dashboard is composed of interactive charts built from reports created in the Manage View.

    With dashboards, teams can instantly visualize trends, track KPIs, and investigate issues without needing to open individual records. Whether you're in Quality, Compliance, Engineering, or Operations, dashboards give you the insights you need—all in one place.


    How to Access

    To navigate to the Dashboard view:

    • Open the Navigation Bar on the left

    • Click on the Dashboard icon

    This opens the Dashboard View, where you can access a list of dashboards available to you based on your role or permissions.


    The Dashboard view is structured in three layers:

    This view lists multiple dashboards categorized by role, function, or use case. For example:

    • [CXO] Non-Conformances and CARs

    • [Quality Manager] Documents and Training

    Each dashboard contains its own set of charts for targeted analysis.

    Dashboards group together charts to give you a cohesive view of a process, team, or metric area. Each chart provides a snapshot from different reports.

    Charts are created based on reports from the Manage View, which determine the data, filters, and grouping used. These charts update dynamically based on live data.

    Here’s what you’ll find in the Dashboard interface:

    • Left Panel (List of Dashboards): Navigate between dashboards by role or use case.

    • Main Panel (Charts): See bar graphs, line charts, KPIs, and performance visualizations.

    • + Create New: Option to create new dashboards from your available charts.

    Charts are clickable—selecting a data point will drill into the matching set of records.


    • Use clear naming conventions for dashboards (e.g. by role or process).

    • Keep dashboards focused by limiting to 4–8 relevant charts.

    • Ensure reports powering your charts are up-to-date and validated.

    • Regularly review dashboard contents for relevance.


    The Dashboard View in Unifize acts as a centralized collection of dashboards, each providing powerful insights into your organization's performance. Built from reports and visualized as charts, dashboards allow you to monitor and act on data—faster and smarter.

    Group similar dashboards logically (e.g. [Shop Floor], [CXO], [Quality Manager]).

    How Dashboards Work

    1. Dashboard View = Collection of Dashboards

    2. Dashboards = Collection of Charts

    3. Charts = Built from Reports
