Work with tasks in a Public Inbox

The IBM FileNet Public Inbox web part displays public inboxes that you have access to. A public inbox holds work items that can be completed by one of a number of users, rather than by a specific user. You can work on a work item in a public inbox, and can also move a work item from the public inbox to your personal inbox for processing.

NOTE   The level of access you have to workflows and work items viewed in the Public Inbox web part is based on the access rights configured for your IBM FileNet P8 user account. Although you need the appropriate SharePoint permissions to view and access the Public Inbox web part in a SharePoint site, it is the access rights associated with your FileNet P8 user account that determine what you are able to do when working with workflows and work items viewed in the Public Inbox web part.
