- Missing Fax Number:
- If a license is already assigned to the user, scroll down to Fax notification settings
- Verify that a fax number has been assigned.

- 8x8 Work Issue:
- If a fax number is already assigned to the user, then remove the fax number by click the X next to it.

- In all cases, the user must log out of 8x8 Work and log back in to see the Fax service appear.
