Mystic Help
Workspace
The Mystic Workspace is the main environment in which the Mystic application is used. It usually consists of a toolbar, sidebar and open area where various type of dialog can be displayed but may vary in nature according to the configuration that the library has chosen to implement, as well as the icon set and colour theme.
Splash
On first accessing the workspace, Staff Users will always be faced with the Mystic Splash - a list of messages and articles which are useful for the staff user to know about, or important information which all staff users need to see (such as update information).
Once an article has been read, selecting the [Mark As Read] button will prevent the article from displaying on the next login.
If there are no current articles to read, the Splash Page will not display.
To Close the splash page, click the [Close] button in the bottom left hand corner. If there are any unread articles, the Splash page will re-display on the next login but can also be displayed whenever required by selecting [Info]>[Splash Page]>[Display Now].
Dialog Only Workspace
The Dialog Only Workspace is the default mode for the Mystic Workspace. You will know that you are in this mode if the top-left corner of the toolbar shows only the [Info] toolbar icon.
In this mode, all staff user managers are displayed as floating dialogs (windows) which can be moved around within the browser.
OPAC features which are selected from the sidebar display in the larger open area.
Webpage Workspace
The Webpage Workspace is a mode utilised if any of the Staff User managers have been placed into full-page mode (this can be done by changing the user permissions for managers such as the Catalogue and Reader Manager).
