Monitor is the tab used to view all active work items that you have access to across the whole system. The Monitor will allow you to access active work items as they travel through the workflow.

- Mailroom - provides access to work items in the Mailroom workflow.

Figure 6: Identifying Work Item Locations
Note
The work items may be assigned to you in your dashboard or moving through the Back-office Processing queue.
Work Items that are in the Monitor have not been completed through the workflow. You can determine the location of the work item by viewing the Task Name and/or Node Name.
- Task Name – This is the name your organization has named the workflow queue (Node)
- Node Name – This is the Docupace name for the workflow queue (Node). This is standard across all versions of Docupace.
Note
If you cannot locate a work item on your dashboard, you can use Monitor. The Assigned to column will help identify who in your office or in the back office the work item has been assigned to. If there is no Assigned to name, the work item is in a pool waiting to be assigned.

Mailroom
Click on images to expand them.
The Mailroom displays any work items containing unindexed documents. Use the Monitor to search scanned/uploaded documents not assigned to you in your dashboard. In your office you may have a designated person scanning/uploading documents into Docupace, the Mailroom in Monitor will display these work items.
Note
Documents rely on barcodes to drive them through the workflow route within the Docupace system. If the documents scanned or uploaded into the system do not contain barcodes on them, they are referred to as “unindexed documents”. These documents are routed into the Mailroom and wait for user intervention to be sent through the appropriate workflow path.
