# Inbox Overview

The Inbox is the default landing page after sign-in. It gives you a workspace-level view of active and completed tasks.

## What You Can Do From The Inbox

From the Inbox, you can:

* Search for tasks
* Filter the task list
* Create a new task
* Open an existing task
* Continue setup or onboarding tasks
* Review task status groups such as To do, In progress, and Done
* Use starter tasks when they are available for your workspace

## Task List

The task list shows tasks grouped by status. A task card may represent a standalone task, a workspace setup step, an onboarding task, a project task, or a task created from a reusable task type.

Opening a task takes you to a task detail route under the Inbox. The task detail keeps the task state and conversation together so the work can continue across sessions.

## Task Creation

The Inbox can expose task starters and reusable task definitions. Depending on your workspace setup, task creation may show:

* Suggested starter tasks
* Task definition groups
* Required fields for a selected task type
* Linked project or workspace context
* An assistant or manager panel for guided creation

The create panel can include an initial prompt field, task definition groups, and starter tasks such as workspace setup or onboarding actions. If a task type requires more structure, Alludium opens the relevant creation flow instead of treating the task as a one-off chat.

## Mobile Layout

On narrow screens, the Inbox uses a more compact layout. Instead of showing every panel at once, it may split the experience into modes such as list and create. The same task state remains available, but the navigation is optimized for smaller screens.
