What VSys One Looks Like: Conventions and Getting Around

To get started, double-click the VSys One icon on your computer desktop. We call him the "VSys dude" and you can see he's waving his hand, offering to help.
VSys One icon

On the Home page you may find one or more panels. Which panels are visible will depend on how VSys is configured and its current status. These are items that might need your attention or are there to help you.

VSys One main screen

The panels on the Home page can be re-arranged, deleted and added to.

On the left side of almost every screen is a navigation bar with tools and links. Here on the home screen they're panels with the various tools available from this screen. As we get further into the program they will become specific to the current tool you are using.

Tools and reports

If you are unsure where to find a feature or tool that you want to use, put a keyword in this search box and you will be given a list of options. See Searching Screens for more details on how this works.

People

Type in someone's last/family name, date of birth, e-mail address, phone number or kiosk PIN to search. Search opens the Person lookup tool without any search terms, Advanced brings up the Find people using advanced criteria tool.
