Filtering records in My Inbox

Efficiently navigate through Unifize Records using filters and sorting in My Inbox to focus on the discussions and tasks most relevant to you.


Why filter Records?

As the number of records grows, filtering and sorting helps you:

  • Quickly locate specific records

  • Focus on tasks assigned to you

  • Monitor the status of ongoing processes

  • Prioritize time-sensitive or high-priority work


  1. Access My Inbox:

    • From the left-hand menu, click My Inbox to view all records relevant to you.

  2. Use Search and Filter Options:


You can apply any of the following filters directly from the toolbar:

  • Unread – Show only unread records.

  • I Own – View records assigned to you.

  • Everyone – View records visible to everyone.

  • Cancelled – Include cancelled records.


Click on the Sort By dropdown to organize records by key attributes. Available sort criteria include:

  • Date Updated – Recent → Stale

  • Priority – Critical → Low

  • Status – Pending → Complete

  • Date Created – Newest → Oldest

Each sort type can be toggled between ascending and descending order.

📝 Click Apply to update your list based on the selected sort.


Click on the Status filter to narrow down records by their progress stage:

  • Pending – Includes all ongoing or active records.

  • Completed – Shows records marked as complete.

  • Custom – Allows selection of individual statuses for more control.

📝 After making your selection, click Apply to see filtered results.


  • Track your tasks: Use I Own + Status: Pending to view active records you're responsible for.

  • Follow up on CAPA processes: Search “CAPA” and filter by Status: Pending.

  • Review team-wide activity: Use Everyone + Sort By: Date Updated (Recent → Stale).


  • Stack filters: Combine tags like Unread + I Own + Pending for highly targeted views.

  • Use keyword search with filters: Refine your results further with the search bar.

  • Reset easily: Clear filters by deselecting tags or refreshing the view.

  • Explore custom statuses

Inviting people

If your role has permission to invite others to the app, Unifize provides two simple ways to do this—either from the Contacts page or directly from a record.


What this does

Invites a user to your Unifize workspace using their email address and allows you to assign them a role. Once invited, users can be added to records and begin collaborating immediately.


When to use it

  • When a new team member joins

  • To bring someone into a specific workflow or record

  • When setting up your Unifize workspace for broader use


  1. Navigate to the Contacts page from the Navbar

  2. Click the “+ Add Contacts” button in the top-right corner

  3. A modal will appear—enter the email address of the person you'd like to invite

  4. Select the role you’d like to assign (e.g., Admin, Team Member)

📌 You can update or change a user's role anytime later from the Contacts page (admin access required).


You can also invite users directly into an ongoing record.

  1. Open any record

  2. Click the participants icon (the ‘User’ symbol in between to ‘Assign Owner’ & ‘Set Due Dates’)

  3. Enter the user's email address

  4. You’ll see an Invite option with the email address—click it

Once added, the user will receive an email with a link to join and will appear in the participant list once accepted.


  • Only users with the correct permissions can invite others

  • Invited users will show as Pending until they accept the invite

  • Email invitations are sent immediately; users must verify their account to access the workspace

  • Roles affect what users can see or do—assign thoughtfully


  • Add users directly into relevant conversations for instant context

  • Use the role selection step to control permissions from the start

  • If a user hasn’t received the invite, ask them to check their spam/junk folder

  • You can re-invite by deleting and re-adding the user if needed

Click Send Invite

Then click + Add to record

  • A modal will prompt you to select a role for the user

  • How it works

    Option 1: Invite from the Contacts Page

    Option 2: Invite from a Record

    Pro Tips

    Creating records from inbound email

    Introduction

    Unifize’s Collaborative Intelligence has introduced an advanced AI-powered automation that easily converts unstructured email content into structured, actionable records. This capability helps quality and operations teams respond faster to issues like complaints or non-conformances by eliminating manual data entry and enabling contextual collaboration from the start.

    Key capabilities

    • Automated record creation: Instantly generate a new record (e.g., Complaint, NCMR) from any inbound email sent to a connected Stream.

    • AI-Based field mapping: Extract relevant information from the email body and map it to checklist fields using natural language understanding.

    • Integrated workflow triggering: Start downstream processes like dispositions, investigations, or approvals with minimal manual input.

    • Seamless context continuity: Preserve full context across steps—ensuring traceability and audit readiness from email to resolution.

    • Checklist pre-fill: Email content is intelligently parsed to auto-populate checklist fields such as:

      • Issue summary

      • Reporter details

      • Product or batch information

    1. Set Up email integration: Connect your team’s shared inbox or redirect relevant emails to a configured Unifize Stream.

    2. Forward or receive email: A user or customer sends an email to the configured address.

    3. AI activates: Unifize AI interprets the message, creates a new record, and fills relevant checklist fields automatically.

    4. Review & confirm: Users verify the AI-generated data and take action—assigning roles, initiating analysis, or triggering workflows.

    • Configure email-to-stream routing for relevant workflows (e.g., complaints, support, CAPA).

    • Use well-defined checklist templates with clearly labeled fields for improved AI mapping.

    • Encourage forwarding complete email threads for maximum context.

    • Validate AI-filled content before proceeding to ensure accuracy and completeness.

    Dispositions & investigations: Immediately initiate investigation workflows (e.g., root cause analysis) by selecting AI-suggested options.

  • Root cause guidance: For issues like NCMRs, Unifize AI guides users through methodologies such as 5-Why, providing contextual prompts and summaries.

  • Corrective action suggestions: Based on selected root causes, AI proposes actionable corrective steps and allows assigning owners and due dates.

  • Change impact analysis: If a change request is needed, AI assesses risks and dependencies, supporting complete impact analysis and compliance.

  • Training content updates: Once a document is revised, AI helps generate updated training material to reinforce compliance.

  • Continue the workflow: Leverage AI assistance for RCA, corrective actions, and change control, all within the same workspace.

    Generating PDF reports

    Unifize enables users to generate and download professional, printable PDF reports from checklist data, including structured text, tables, and embedded images. These reports can be tailored to meet branding and formatting needs through custom templates configured with support from the Unifize team.


    How to Use

    1. Requesting Custom PDF Templates

    To set up a custom PDF report template:

    • Contact Unifize Support with:

      • The checklist or process the report is for

      • Required layout (e.g. tables, sections, headers)

      • Branding elements (e.g. logo, footer text)

    • The support team will work with you to design and implement the template.

    • Once finalized, the template is made available in your workspace.


    After your template is set up:

    • Open the relevant checklist.

    • Click the Generate PDF button.

    • If there are multiple layouts to choose from, select the most appropriate one.

    • Unifize generates a formatted PDF based on the checklist data.

    Example Output:


    • Define layout expectations clearly when requesting a template.

    • Include consistent branding like logos, fonts, and document titles.

    • Use PDF stitching for final reports that include attachments or reference documents.

    • Test outputs regularly with sample checklists to validate formatting.


    Unifize’s custom PDF reporting gives teams a flexible way to generate professional documentation directly from their process checklists. By collaborating with the support team, you can create templates that reflect your process needs and visual identity. PDF stitching offers additional convenience for bundling related documentation.

    ⚠️ Things to keep in mind

    🧠 Pro tips

    Creating custom dashboards

    Dashboards in Unifize enable users to easily visualize live process data, monitor operational performance, and drive better decisions with real-time insights.

    Whether personal or shared, dashboards provide a flexible way to organize and display key metrics, making it easy for teams and leadership to stay aligned.

    Use Dashboards to visualize key metrics from your processes, track performance, and make data-driven decisions inside Unifize.


    What does it do?

    Dashboards allow you to group interactive, real-time charts and KPIs into a single view.

    These visualizations pull live data from Unifize checklists and records, helping teams monitor workflows, track compliance, analyze trends, and drive better decisions.


    Why use it?

    Use Dashboards when you need to:

    • Monitor compliance, approvals, overdue actions, training status, or other critical workflows.

    • Give teams or leadership real-time visibility into key processes.

    • Track performance across multiple checklists and display a summary view of operations.


    To create a dashboard, you’ll first need to create one or more charts.

    Each chart pulls data from a saved report and can be visualized as a pie chart, bar graph, column chart, table, or KPI.

    Check out: →

    Once you’ve created your charts, follow these steps to assemble them into a dashboard:

    1. Navigate to the Dashboards section from the left-hand menu.

    2. Click + Create New to start a new dashboard.

    3. Enter a Dashboard Title (e.g., "CAPA by Status", "Training Completion by Owner").

    4. Click + Add a Chart, then select from your existing saved charts


    • Admins can create shared dashboards accessible to teams, departments, or the entire organization.

    • Dashboards can be private, shared with specific groups, or made public across the org.


    • All dashboards you create are listed under the Dashboards tab.

    • You can pin dashboards to your Home Screen using Org Settings.

    • Clicking on any dashboard opens a combined view:


    • Start with a clear report and chart for each metric you want to visualize.

    • Use KPIs for high-level numbers like overdue actions or open CAPAs.

    • Group related charts by process (e.g., QA, Production, Audits).

    • Name dashboards consistently so teams can quickly find the right views.


    Custom Dashboards in Unifize let you assemble saved charts into powerful visual summaries that reflect your process data in real time.

    By first creating charts and then combining them into dashboards, you create focused, flexible views that help teams align around performance and action.

    Clicking into a dashboard gives you a combined view of the chart alongside the live report, making it easy to both visualize and explore your operational data in one place.

    Check out: →

    .
  • Repeat to add additional charts or KPIs as needed.
