Pending includes requests you have already read.

Triggered by means the person who caused the update, which may differ from the person the update concerns. The Approval filter includes approval requests and timesheet review notices. A review inside an ordinary shift or workflow notification may be missing from that selection: clear Approval to find it.

​
Return to your selection

Your filters stay applied when you open an item and are remembered when you leave Inbox and return in the same browser and workspace. You do not need to save or name a view. To start again, open More actions above the list and choose Reset filters. If the list looks empty, reset the filters before assuming nothing has arrived.
Filters narrow what you see, not what Delete all clears. That action includes hidden and snoozed items.
