outbaskets
Completed paperwork holders
Outbaskets are trays or containers for documents that have been processed and are ready to be sent out or filed.
The term comes from office organization systems where incoming work lands in an in-basket and completed work goes to the out-basket: She dropped the signed forms in her outbasket.
The concept extends to email and task management software.
