Summary: The Inbox Panel has two views:
The Inbox Panel has two views:
- The Responsibilities view
- The Messages View
See both below.
The Responsibilities View (Tasks)
What is the Responsibilities View?
It's a Workflow-Based view of your tasks, rather than a program and project based view of your tasks. Why? Some people work in a project context, and
others work across many or even all projects
. The responsibilities view is useful for people who across many projects using an inbox, priority or queue view of their work. For people who process contracts, invoices, clients and customers, timecards or help desk or support calls, the Responsibilities and inbox views are more useful. They really have one project of their own: serving projects and the organization. So they are better served with a single view of the workflow items currently involving them.
Tip: The activity stream updates and then scrolls away. Tasks appear on your responsibilities view and stay there. Your task panel view changes constantly depending upon what you're looking at. These three views provide information for three kinds of work. Note: The Responsibilities table does not currently update in place when new messages arrive that would be visible in the current subset of tasks.

What Message Types Can I Send or Receive
- The Message: Tells you it's been read. Lets you collaborate on it.
- The Survey: Collects answers to survey questions and shows you the results. All results are private.
- The "Memo": Keeps a record of who has 'accepted' it (read it), and feedback is visible only to the author.

Background Note: Runcible email is built using a separate type of program, with a separate workflow. And each email item is internally structured as an Runcible Task within that separate type of program. Why? So we can create the 'feel' of email for managers and executives whose job consists of communicating and organizing. But even better, we can provide the feedback and statistics and even costs. It's easiest to think of these emails as micro-projects. The author does not have to refer to or select a program or project when he or she composes administrative communications emails.
External System Email (portal)
The Email panel (to the right of the Activity Stream) is a portal to your external mailbox — Google or Microsoft 365. It is not Oversing organizational memory. Mail stays in Gmail/Outlook; Oversing only keeps a private cache so you can read and send without leaving the workspace.
Connect an account from the panel. Later slices add reading, sending, drag-and-drop into tasks/schedule/attachments (literal copy), and accepting calendar invites with an optional copy onto the current project’s schedule.
