Outbound Faxes gives you a detailed view into the faxes that have been sent out of your Updox account.
Features
Overview
The Outbound Fax dashboard shows a complete day’s worth of faxes, always on one screen. If you want to view a different day or view a date range (limited to 7 days), use the Date selector. If you want to only see successful, pending, or failed faxes, use the Status selector. You can sort the faxes by any of the visible fields.
You can use the search box to search within the day’s faxes to find the exact fax you’re looking for.
Fax Visibility (which faxes can I see?)
Standard users have the same visibility to faxes on this screen as they do in the Updox Inbox; if they can see a fax in the Sent folder, they can see a fax here. Likewise, faxes that the user cannot see in the Sent folder are also hidden here.
However, admin users now have the ability to see all faxes that have been sent out, regardless of whether or not they are able to see them in the Inbox. This helps our admin users monitor all outbound faxing, something that has been requested many times.
If this is a problem for your office, please contact Updox Support to discuss.
Auto-Updating
Don’t worry about constantly refreshing the page, we’ll let you know when there are new faxes that have been sent out.
Additionally, any “pending” faxes you see are automatically updated as soon as they are successfully received or fail.
Fax Details
You can dig into the details of any fax by clicking anywhere on the row or using the chevron (down caret) on the right-hand side of the page. Here, you can view more information about the fax, view the confirmation page, download the fax, download the fax & confirmation page, and even resend it.
