To manage workspaces in your current unit, click the **Workspace Settings** button. This will open the Workspace Settings tab.

The following diagrams depict the workspace settings tab:

## Workspace Settings

### Workspace Inboxes

The table in this section lists the workspace inboxes and their priorities.

<figure><img src="https://2572483209-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8vfRpZGqpk7N0egaXMQ8%2Fuploads%2Ft6N4z8QL8PxvGMhyXlOX%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8fffb0bb-9f91-4585-ba78-37aa488965d8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To **add an inbox** to the workspace, click on the Add Inboxes button and choose inboxes from the popup menu.

To **remove** an inbox from the workspace, click on the inbox's context menu \[⋮] and click Remove From This Workspace.

#### Inbox Order

To change the inboxes' order of appearance, use the drag handle to drag an inbox to its' desired position.

### Inbox Priority

The inbox priority controls the order in which agents process cases.&#x20;

When an agent clicks on the "Next" button on the agent console, a case is selected from all of the inboxes within that workspace. \
\
To determine which cases are handled first by the agents, different priorities can be assigned to each inbox.&#x20;

If two or more inboxes have the **same** priority, Cubu will pick the case that is waiting for the longest. In case of an appointment,  cases with the earliest appointment time have higher priority.

To change the inbox priority, click on the inbox's context menu button \[⋮] and choose Edit Priorities to open the Workspace Inbox settings dialog.

{% hint style="info" %}
"1" indicates the **highest** priority.
{% endhint %}

#### Workspace Inbox Dialog

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2572483209-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8vfRpZGqpk7N0egaXMQ8%2Fuploads%2F8Wdm2OKYL2ozn1KQkaGP%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7da7b93a-c229-4db1-997d-6ad5c0d34b56" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Worksoace Inbox Dialog</p></figcaption></figure></div>

On this dialog, you configure the default inbox priority and optional "boosters".

Priority **boosters** allow you to handle an inbox with higher priority when some conditions are fulfilled. For example, if a long queue is building up in an inbox, you can boost its priority to speed up processing cases from this inbox.

You can boost inbox priority based on the following criteria:&#x20;

* **Queue length**: Boost the inbox priority if the number of cases with the *Waiting* [status ](https://cubu.elevio.help/en/articles/140)crosses a specified threshold.
* **Waiting time**: Boost the inbox priority if cases are in the *Waiting* state longer than a specified period of time.
* **Assigned to me**: You can give higher priority to an inbox if it contains cases that are specifically assigned to the agent.

#### Skip Inbox

For scenarios where you wish to view an inbox in your workspace but do not wish to call cases from this inbox automatically, set the inbox "Next Behavior" to **Skip**.&#x20;

This is useful when you prefer to select the cases to work on from individual inboxes manually.

### "Next" Button Behavior

To control what happens when agents click Next, choose an option from the dropdown.

Next Behavior:

* **Auto**: Resolve active cases, except when the channel is Chat.
* **Open in a new tab**: Open the next case in a new tab.
* **Close active tabs:** Resolve active cases and close tabs before opening a new case.
