Note
StratusFAX storage limit is linked to the user's voicemailbox limit. This is usually set to 10MB by default.
While 10MB should be more than enough for any basic user's faxing needs, we do recommend staying on top of managing your faxes in inbox and sent folders.
Unneeded faxes can be deleted using the Red X button to free up storage space. This is good to do once you have downloaded the fax to your personal device.
Action Icons
Next to each sent message there are action icons.
Download - click to download this fax as a PDF.
View - hover over this icon to get a quick view snap shot of the fax
Delete - click this to remove the fax from StratusFAX. We recommend to do this after you have first downloaded the fax to your personal device. 
Inbox
The Inbox folder is where you will be able to view any non-deleted inbound faxes to your user.
Sent
The Sent folder is where you will be able to view any non-deleted outbound faxes that have been sent via the Stratus Portal. This will not show faxes sent through other means, such as a Fax Machine using an ATA or through Fax To Email.
Status Indicators
There may be status indicators next to fax messages to indicator their current progress. Refresh Stratus Portal to get the most current information.
Sending - While a faxing is in the process of sending, you may see a Sending badge next to the To Destination Number. This means the fax is still transmitting. Please wait for the fax to complete it's transmission. Depending on the size of the uploaded file, this could take several minutes. 
Error - If an error has occurred while sending the fax, an Error badge will appear next to the To Destination Number. This means there was an issue sending that particular fax. You can hover over it for more information. You will need to attempt to send that fax again using the Send Fax button.
