| ◆ | The Status Window is divided into three information panes. The status table provides access to all the current status information for everyone using OpsCenter. The bulletin board displays all current bulletin board posts. The event calendar provides all the upcoming schedule information for a specific user. You can use the Status Window Filters & Controls to customize what information is displayed in these three panes. |
| ◆ | The Communication Manager provides access to all of the bulletin board posts as well as your sent and received messages (notes, phone messages, vacation requests and PTO requests). You can use the View Message Type and Message Filters & Controls panes to customize what information is displayed on the table. |
| ◆ | The Schedule Manager provides access to all schedule information (vacation schedules, PTO schedules, sick days, out-of-office schedules, scheduled events, holiday schedules, and work schedules). You can use the View Schedule Type and Schedule Filters & Controls panes to customize what information is displayed on the table. |
| ◆ | The Calendars window displays schedule information in a variety of different calendar views. The available view types are grid, day, week, month, and year. You can use the Calendar View and Calendar Filters & Controls panes to customize what information is displayed on the calendars. |
| o | Each of the main windows has a collection of docked windows to provide additional controls and information for that window. There will generally be docked windows to control the type of information being displayed as well as filters to narrow down the information based on defined parameters.

The windows can be moved around the screen or can be hidden or locked into place by clicking on the pin icon in the upper right corner of the window. A hidden window will appear as a tab. Clicking on the tab will temporarily expose the window unless it is pinned and locked into place. |

To control whether or not the system tray icon is visible, click on Keep in system tray under the Edit menu. When the system tray icon is visible, clicking on the application's "X" close button will hide OpsCenter from the taskbar but the program will still run in the system tray. Clicking on the "_" minimize button will keep the program in the taskbar. If the system tray icon is disabled, clicking on the application's "X" will exit the program entirely. |
