What the Inbox is for

One list of everything waiting on a decision from you.

The Inbox is everything that needs you, in one place — things to do, things Alfred has noticed, and things waiting on your yes.

The Inbox: category chips across the top, shortcut banners, and the list of items below

The chips across the top are filters and counts at once: All, Needs you, Maintenance, Approvals, Compliance, Money, Suggestions, Setup and Personal. Needs you is the honest number — the things only you can decide.

Each item is tagged with what it is and carries the one action that clears it: Chase rent on a missed payment, View on a reported issue.

The banners at the very top gather the biggest jobs, like getting compliant or protecting deposits.

Tasks, and suggestions

Most items are tasks — something to do, sometimes with a deadline.

A suggestion is different: something Alfred noticed and thinks is worth doing, never owed and never dated. Act on one and it becomes an ordinary item; ignore it and it clears itself after 30 days.

Add item puts a job of your own in the list. Finishing anything moves it to Archived, so nothing is lost.

Repairs

A repair you are handling has one row, named after the latest thing the contractor did, such as "Ben sent a quote · £85". When a decision waits on you, the row is marked Needs you and its button names the step: Approve quote, Check invoice, Check and resolve or Choose someone else. It stays until you decide.

A row with no decision is an update. Open the issue and it clears.

If a tenant reports an emergency, an Emergency reported at row appears with the address. It goes once the issue is resolved. See When a tenant reports a problem.

Accounting packages

If you have connected Xero or FreeAgent, a Money row such as "3 Xero transactions to review" shows how many are coming in or going out. Select Review to open the review in Settings. The row goes when nothing is left to review, and you cannot dismiss it.
