As your documents and invoices are processed through the In-Tray, their status will change depending on the actions you take.

Statuses are used in the main In-Tray screen to organise your scanned documents and invoices, as well as in the In-Tray Management tool, on the Dashboard and in various document areas inside the system.

Setting and Using In-Tray Status Types

SLA Traffic Lights

Each document or invoice that is added to the In-Tray will have a red, amber or green traffic light icon against it. 


This allows you to track whether files are being linked to records and actioned in line with your SLA's. By default,  the system allows 48 hours before a file turns amber and 96 hours before it turns red.
Alert
Please contact our Support team if you want to amend the default In-Tray SLA times. 
NotesThe "In Tray Use Scanned Date For Pending File Traffic Light" System Setting determines whether the Allocated date or the Scanned Date is used when calculating the traffic light colour.

You may also see blue icons for Missing documents.



In-Tray Status Types

Each traffic-light icon contains letters which indicate the status of a file. 
  1. Mi - Missing - This is a file that is missing from the directory, or has been deleted.

  2. P - Pending - This is a file that has been linked to a record, but has not yet been allocated. The Pending status can be used as a reminder for follow-up actions.

  3. A - Allocated - This is a file that has been actioned.

  4. R - Received or G if generated from a mail merge - This is a file that has not yet been processed.

  5. I - Ignored - This is a file that has been moved out of the tray to be ignored e.g. email signatures that arrive as separate attachments or junk emails.

  6. Me - Merged - This is a file that has been merged into a combined file and does not require further action on its own.

  7. T - To Do - This is a file is not yet linked to a record. You can set a follow-up date/time against files marked as To-Do.
