Docwize Inbox

The Docwize Inbox is a central location where users can view and action documents that have been sent to them via a workflow. Both initiator and recipient(s) of a workflow can view the status of a workflow in the Docwize Inbox. The actions the user must take are defined in the Action Request section. Although action request can be customized, the most general ones include signing, annotating, stamping, and reviewing documents, as well as completing custom fields.
