Not a screenshot: the same interface you get in production.

What you do here

Upload documents and set the file name, type (e.g. insurance, contract, invoice) and target: "Global" for the whole company or a specific object (vehicle, employee, customer, supplier, project …) with a target label, so the detail shows a name instead of an id. Set "Valid until" and optionally an owner and a reminder lead time so expiring papers surface in time.

Email inbox & outbox

In the email inbox you triage new messages: "Match inbox item" links them to a module and record, "Mark ingested" closes them, "Reject" discards them with a reason. The status shows Pending, Matched, Ingested or Rejected; in the outbox you see whether a mail is Queued, Sent or Failed - and you can requeue a failed mail.

Ingest mailboxes

Under "Ingest addresses" you create dedicated mailboxes that feed mail into the inbox automatically. Per address you set a purpose and an optional allowlist of permitted sender domains and addresses; use "Activate"/"Deactivate" to arm or mute a mailbox.

Tips

The list is grouped by type, the soonest-expiring document is on top and an expired "Valid until" is highlighted, so you spot due documents at once. Tabs and filters (visibility, status) let you slice documents, inbox and outbox. Uploading, editing, deleting and triaging emails are limited to Admin and Dispatcher; confidential personnel files are only visible to whoever holds the "Read confidential documents" permission.

Confidentiality, versions & retention

Every document defaults to "Staff only" - so contracts and invoices are not automatically visible to everyone. Only with "Change visibility" do you release it ("Released") or turn it into a personal document that only the affected person sees. Mark personnel files and health records (Art. 9) as confidential - they stay reserved for a separate, tightly permissioned circle. The "Versions" child list records every new version (the old one stays accessible), the "Access log" shows who opened a document. Invoices and receipts automatically get a statutory retention period (invoices 8 years per §147 AO, commercial letters 6 years per §257 HGB) and cannot be deleted until then - only "voided". Incoming e-invoices (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) are detected and archived in their original format.
