The Inbox

The three-pane queue: status groups, filters, saved views, channels, bulk actions, and the details pane.

The Inbox is the home screen. It has three panes, left to right:

  1. Conversation list: the queue, filtered by whatever the sidebar and filter popover say.
  2. Thread: the selected conversation, with the composer docked to the bottom. See Working a ticket.
  3. Details: the facts beside the conversation: assignee, attributes, customer, and the Auralis panel.

The list and details panes can each be collapsed from their own header; the choice is remembered. On narrower windows the details pane becomes an overlay drawer instead of a column.

The sidebar

To the left of the list sits the Inbox sidebar: a header, the status group, your saved views, and a Channels section.

The header holds the Inbox title, a magnifier that swaps the title for a search box (searches subject and body, press Enter to apply), and a + that opens the new-ticket form. The + only appears for roles that can create tickets.

Status groups

Eight rows filter the queue. The first six carry live counts; Mine and Unassigned carry none, because the queue is not counted per assignee.

RowWhat it shows
All openTickets in open.
PendingYou replied; waiting on the customer.
On holdParked on something outside the conversation.
SolvedAnswered and marked solved.
ClosedFinished and filed.
OverdueTickets that have breached an SLA target.
MineAssigned to you.
UnassignedNo assignee yet.

Each status row is a toggle, and you can select several at once. The default view with nothing selected is open plus pending.

The filter popover

The list's sub-header shows the filtered total, the scope you are looking at, and a sliders icon that opens the filter popover. It offers:

  • Priority: urgent, high, normal, low (multi-select).
  • Overdue: overdue only.
  • Assignee: anyone, mine, or unassigned.
  • Status: the five statuses, multi-select.

Every checkbox applies immediately; Done just closes the popover, and Clear resets only what the popover owns (not your search or saved view). A badge on the trigger counts the active filter groups, so a filter can never be on and invisible. When any filter is active, a Clear filters control also appears at the bottom of the sidebar.

All filters live in the page address, so a filtered queue can be bookmarked or sent to a teammate as a link.

Saved views

The Views section stores filter sets as named rows.

To save one: set up the filters you want, then click the + in the Views header. Name the view, and tick Share with the workspace if everyone on the team should see it; otherwise it is yours alone. Shared views are marked "shared" in the list.

Things worth knowing:

  • A view stores status, priority, assignee scope, overdue and the search term. The channel filter is not stored in a view yet; the save dialog tells you so and you reapply it after opening the view.
  • Applying a view is never restricted: it is just a way of reading the queue. Saving one needs editor; deleting one needs admin.
  • The section shows six views, then "+N more". An active view is never hidden behind the cut.

Channels

The Channels section lists every source that currently has tickets, busiest first, each with a count: Email, Web widget, AI handoff, Phone, Voicemail, SMS, WhatsApp, API, Manual, Migrated, whichever apply. Click one to filter the queue to that source. A workspace with no traffic yet shows no Channels section.

The conversation list

Each row shows the conversation, and at most one flag beside it, in escalation order:

  1. Live if the customer is in a live session right now.
  2. Overdue if an SLA target has been missed.
  3. A countdown, when a first response is due soon.

Rows are selected by their checkbox; clicking the row itself opens the conversation in the thread pane. A per-row menu offers quick actions.

Bulk actions

Ticking one or more checkboxes replaces the sub-header with the bulk toolbar: a select-all box, the "N selected" count, and three verbs:

  • Change status: pick any of the five statuses.
  • Priority: pick urgent, high, normal or low.
  • Unassign: clear the assignee from the selection.

Bulk updates need the admin role. Any signed-in member can still select rows and see the count; below the admin floor the three verbs are replaced by a sentence saying who can. Escape (or the select box) clears the selection.

Pagination

The list shows 50 conversations per page, with a "Showing X–Y of Z" range and previous/next controls in its footer. A bookmarked page number that has gone out of range lands you on the last page that exists, filters intact.

The details pane

The right-hand pane describes the selected conversation:

  • Assignee and Team at the top. The assignee control assigns, reassigns or unassigns; team is shown when the ticket has one.
  • Auralis: the Copilot panel, pinned first. See Working a ticket.
  • Conversation attributes: ID, channel, priority, status, created and updated times, first-response and resolution due times, solved time, CSAT score, a live-session indicator, and tags. Tags are edited inline here.
  • Customer: name (linked to the customer record) and email.
  • Recent conversations: up to five other tickets from the same customer.

The pane header's controls open the conversation's full page in a new tab or collapse the pane. Sections below the fixed rows are collapsible.

The thread header

Above the conversation: the subject, and five controls.

  • Draft with Auralis (the sparkle): opens the Copilot panel in the details pane, restoring or overlaying that pane if it is hidden.
  • The overflow menu (): Open full page, and for admins Raise to urgent and Unassign.
  • Priority (the coloured dot): set low, normal, high or urgent.
  • Put on hold (the moon).
  • Mark as solved (the tick).

Hold and solve are only offered when they are legal moves for the ticket's current status; see status transitions.
