8MS User Guide
Toolbar

Most 8MS screens contain a toolbar located on the upper right of the screen. The toolbar contains 2 functions that are associated with individual screens plus an email support link. The toolbar appears as shown.

Unread Notification Alerts

The left-most button on the toolbar is the Unread Notification Alerts link: . The count shown in the red box mapped over the image (as shown above) indicates the number of unread Login notification messages. Selecting this link will jump you to the Notification Alerts screen and will show you these unread messages. If there are no unread Login notification messages, the icon will instead be .

Per-Screen User Preferences

The next button to the right on the toolbar is the Per-Screen User Preferences link: . Selecting this link will bring up a User Preferences popup containing only those User Preferences that are related to this screen. This provides a fast, easy way to change the behavior of the screen currently being viewed.

Note that common preferences, those preferences that are related to multiple screens, are not shown on this popup for each individual screen. Instead, these preferences are accessible from the normal User Preferences screen, along with all other preferences. As an easy way to view just the common preferences without seeing other preferences, select the Per-Screen User Preferences toolbar button on the User Preferences screen.

For more information on Per-Screen Preferences, see Per-Screen User Preferences on the User Preferences page of the User Guide

Screen-Specific User Guide

The next button to the right on the toolbar is the Screen-Specific User Guide link: . Selecting this link will bring up the User Guide page for the screen currently being viewed. This page will appear in a new browser window without any of the normal browser menus, buttons, or editable URL field or the User Guide Table of Contents links. From there, you may select the Main Help Page link to view the table of contents.

Email Support

The next button to the right on the toolbar is the Email Support link: . Selecting this link will bring up the email composition window of your default mail reader with the 8MS Help Desk Support email id pre-filled, along with a subject of 8MS Customer Support Question. Just enter your question and send the email. It will be received by the entire 8MS Help Desk Support Team. See Customer Support on the System Overview page for more information on customer support.
