Odyssey Window
The Odyssey window is divided into the following areas:
1. Windows Menu Bar
The Windows menu bar at the top of the window is part of the Odyssey Assistant shell and is always displayed when working in Odyssey. The following options are available:
•  File (print page, sign off system)
•  View (hide/display message list area, navigation menu, status bar; toggle to full-screen mode)
•  Tools (Internet options, set default location, set forms printer)
•  Centers (toggle between available product centers)
•  Help (access standard Odyssey and site-specific help)
2. Navigation Menu
Located on the left side of the Odyssey Window, the navigation menu contains all the primary activities a user performs. If necessary, use the up and down buttons to scroll through the available options.
Click Image to collapse the navigation menu and open up additional working space in the Odyssey window. Click Image to display the navigation menu again. This is especially useful when there are many data entry functions on the page (for example, searches, party adds).
The options available are rights-based. Odyssey displays only those for which the user has the appropriate rights.
3. Page Name
The name of the page displays in the blue header beneath the Windows menu bar. The page name is also displayed at the top of the Odyssey Assistant window.
4. Home Menu Bar
The menu bar, located below the title bar, provides links to specific areas of the product center (e.g., Cases, Parties, Warrants). The area selected determines the quick links available. This area is blank in some product centers.
The options available are rights based. Odyssey displays only those for which the user has the appropriate rights.
5. Quick Links
The quick links provide access to commonly used functions. If links are displayed in the home menu bar, the quick links available depend on the function selected.
The options available are rights based. Odyssey displays only those for which the user has the appropriate rights.
6. Working Space
The working space is the main part of the Odyssey Window where all data entry occurs. This space changes to display the appropriate information and data entry fields for selected functions.
What you see in your display is how the working space appears when first signing in to Odyssey.
7. Message List Area
The message list is displayed at the bottom of the Odyssey Assistant window (above the status bar). It is hidden unless you choose to show it or there is an error or warning for the current page. In the status bar, click the Product Center Alert button in the status bar (Image) or the System Message Alert button (Image) to collapse or expand the area. The message icons determine the type of message displayed.
