The Odyssey online help system is delivered in a web help format, which means each page or topic is formatted as a web page
and presented in an Internet browser. You can view a list of all available topics on the left side of the window and search
for the information that you need.
In Odyssey, press F1 to access a help topic for the specific page or dialog box you are viewing. You can also click the Help menu and select Odyssey Help to view the context-sensitive topic, or click Contents and Index to access the help welcome page.
Note: Contact Tyler’s Technical Publications department at planodocfeedback@tylertech.com if you cannot access help for a specific area of Odyssey or have any questions regarding the content in the help system.
Online Help Window
The help window is divided into the following areas:

task or reference information. |

describe conceptual or reference information. |
