# Inbox

## **What is an Inbox?**

A process consists of workflows. Each workflow will contain multiple steps (assigned to individual user or groups) which need to be completed to get the job done. We want to make sure that every member who is assigned tasks within an organization can see those tasks in one consolidated view, so they know exactly what they have to do. This is called an Inbox.
