The inbox is the single place where every message related to your work in CONVERGE lands — help responses from Research Development, opportunities a colleague shared with you, system confirmations, and any direct messages.

Where to find it

The bell-with-label in the page header opens the inbox for whichever module you're in. From inside Fairway that's /fairway/inbox; the left navigation stays visible so you can return to your work in one click.

Filters

• All — every item, sorted newest first.
• Help requests & responses — your conversations with RD on specific opportunities.
• Shared opportunities — items a colleague forwarded to you.
• Match updates — confirmations of your signals and changes to your matches.

Threads and attachments

Replies are grouped into threads scoped to a single opportunity or topic. You can attach files when replying — typical use is sending RD a draft abstract or a CV. Attachments stay with the thread.

Read state

Items mark themselves read when you open them. The unread count in the header bell updates in real time across tabs.
