Set Inbox 2.0 queue preferences
Audience: Inbox 2.0 admins
The Preferences page gives you a few admin options for controlling how conversations are handled in the queue, including:
- Using an admin boomerang to set all conversations in the Pending queue back to the New queue after a specified amount of time
- Automatically resolving all conversations from the New or Pending queues after a specified amount of time
- Displaying an icon on items in the queue that are waiting for a first response
To find these options, go to Admin settings, expand Queue, and then select Preferences. These options are described in further detail in the following sections.
Boomerangs
You can set a default system boomerang for all conversations in the Pending queue. Select this check box to set how much time conversations can spend in the Pending queue before being automatically moved back to the New queue.
Auto-resolve conversations
All conversations in the New or Pending queues that are older than 30 days are automatically resolved. You can reduce this default time, and you can also specify a resolve reason.
These settings apply to all new conversations. When you make changes, conversations already in the New or Pending queues retain the settings applied when they arrived in the queue.

Queue display
Under Queue display, you can choose to display an icon (an orange dot) in the queue on messages that haven’t been responded to. You can also choose whether to see truncated message previews from human agents only or both human and virtual agents.
