The OmniUpdate Interface

The OmniUpdate interface encompasses every aspect of the system with which a user is presented within the application in the browser. The interface functions appear in a top-down fashion. The top of the interface consists of tabbed divisions, each tab fulfilling a specific role. The main tabs are as follows:

Dashboard

The Dashboard facilitates your account inbox and outbox as well as the ability to compose messages. It also shows current projects (pages checked out to you) and general user settings and preferences.

To access the Dashboard, click on the Dashboard tab.

Content

The Content is the most used part of OmniUpdate. It consists of primary functions required whenever editing pages, including: editable web pages with views to both the staging server and production server, recent saves, and recent publishes.

To access the Content, click on the Content tab.

Admin

Only accessible to Level-9 and Level-10 users, the Admin tab facilitates the oversight of all workflow processes, including: checked out pages (all users), pending approvals, and scheduled file actions.

To access the Admin, click on the Admin tab.

Setup

The Setup tab has both a basic user mode and an administrator mode. For most users, the Account section within the Setup tab is used to edit basic account information. For administrators (Level-10 users), Setup allows the configuration of various aspects in OmniUpdate, including: web sites, users, groups, toolbar groups, template groups, and RSS.

To access the Setup, click on the Setup tab.

Add-Ons

The Add-ons facilitate any tools that have been added to OmniUpdate outside of what OmniUpdate supports -- tools such as Google Analytics.

To access the Add-Ons, click on the Add-ons tab.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Although this is not a tab within OmniUpdate, the FAQs are meant to supply you with answers to general questions you may come across while using OmniUpdate. This area also contains a list of several error messages you may receive while using OmniUpdate, why you receive the error, and how to fix the error.
