What is the Messages icon on the Odyssey Standalone main screen?
The Messages icon is a little-used messaging feature that allows one to communicate with other Odyssey Standalone sites. Messages can be sent within the Odyssey software to and from your PC, but only with other Odyssey Standalone sites, not with ILLiad sites. Most Odyssey libraries are not currently using this feature and not checking to see if messages have come in. You cannot use the Messages icon to send messages out to an email address. If you need to contact another library for a resend or because an Odyssey Sending has failed, you are more likely to receive a response if you call or email the location than if you use the Messages feature. If [1] appears next to the right of the word Messages under the icon, one message has arrived for you to read. Click the Messages icon to either send or retrieve a message.
