Configurable InBasket.pdf

Good Morning, I am trying to understand the documentation Configurable InBasket.pdf, Section 5.2.2 Configure InBasket Task ItemType (Meeting Task ItemType). The resulting section 5.2.4 Viewing New InBasket Task ItemType Shows 2 Items, one in the Active and one in the Pending state. How does the system know to add 2 Inbasket activities? Many thanks, Martin
