Structure your tasks according to the type of work at hand. For example, if you want to send out one or more documents in a submission, you can start a process of the type Submission. The process provide helps you set up the sequence in which the information should be reviewed, by whom, and when the parties should provide feedback.
Work with processes such as hearings, submissions, and distributions directly from Outlook. For example, when you receive a document in an email, you can create or save on a case and start a process directly from Outlook. The parties that you invite to provide feedback or take ownership of the case will receive tasks via emails and you and the other parties will get email notifications to remind you about due dates.
Keep track of current and finalized processes from the Processes Overview. Use the filter and search options to request information by, for example, case or actor or use a combination of search options to track phases or other specific details of one or more processes. You can access the overview from Outlook or by entering the following URL in any of the supported browsers: http(s)://app/client/overview
