# Inbox (Messages and Actions)

Help article documenting the NuForce Inbox screen, its Messages/Actions/Notifications tabs, and their current placeholder state.

# Inbox (Messages and Actions)

The Inbox brings your messages, action items, and notifications together in one place, organized into tabs so you can check each type without leaving the page.

## What you can do here

- Switch between three tabs: **Messages**, **Actions**, and **Notifications**.
- **Messages** shows direct messages and conversations with your team.
- **Actions** shows tasks and items that need your attention, such as work orders, approvals, and follow-ups.
- **Notifications** shows system alerts and updates, such as status changes and reminders.
- When a tab has nothing to show, NuForce displays a short description of what that tab is for instead of a blank page, so you always know what belongs there.

For now, all three tabs show this placeholder text no matter what is happening in your account, since messaging and notifications are not turned on here yet. Treat this screen as a preview of where these updates will appear once that is live.

<!-- REVIEW NOTES (drafting agent could not verify):
  1. The /inbox page (app/inbox/page.tsx) currently has no live data source: all three tabs (Messages, Actions, Notifications) always render a static empty-state message regardless of account activity. A source comment explicitly flags this as a TODO to wire to a real messaging/notification API when available, so the described tab purposes (viewing actual messages, actions, notifications) are the intended future behavior, not something a user can currently trigger content into.
  2. There is no button, form, or interactive control on this screen beyond the three tab triggers; no compose/reply/dismiss/mark-as-read actions exist in the code, so none were included.
  3. A separate nav entry for a dedicated /notifications route exists (lib/data/navigation-items.ts) but no page.tsx was found for it, so it was not linked as a Related page.
  4. The nav label for this route's User Menu entry is literally 'Inbox (Messages and Actions)', matching the requested working title; the on-page H1 text is just 'Inbox'.
