In-Box Proxy maintains continuity of business operations while key personnel are unavailable. This maintainability is essential to any organization because it saves costs by keeping business processes moving. Content Server Workflow and Task Lists provide the framework for automating business processes. Individual workflow steps and task list tasks are the foundation pieces that associate work with people. When the responsible people for steps and tasks are unavailable the processes and affected people are put on hold creating expensive inefficiencies. In-Box Proxy provides the solution to this problem.

In-Box Proxy supports advanced proxy scheduling, proxies can be set-up days, weeks or months in advance of planned absences, e.g. vacations, conventions, jury duty, etc.

In-Box Proxy allows for multiple proxies with overlapping or concurrent access to the original assignee's work.

In-Box Proxy displays the proxy work on the recipient's personal assignments page as a separate set of work tasks. The proxy tasks display the name of the original assignee as well as the standard information associated with workflow steps and task list tasks.

Proxies are date bounded. Proxies are displayed only during the defined starting and ending dates of each proxy. Once the ending date is exceeded the assignments automatically revert to the original assignee.
