Getting to the Home Screen
The home page is the first screen you will see when logging into VetView. You can also get to it at any time by clicking the Home icon in the header.
The Home Screen is made up of two columns of customizable widgets. A "widget" is just a generic term for a mini app within VetView that performs a single specific task, like displaying the time or showing your assigned tests. Your school or lab may also have an informational widget that displays notices or other important information (like our Master Branch test system in the example shot below.) This informational widget cannot be closed, but all other widgets can be opened and closed and rearranged as you wish.
Available Widgets
A list of available widgets can be found by clicking on the Add Widget button in the upper corner of the Home screen.
If you're not sure if a widget will be useful, here is a brief description of what each one displays.
The Mail Widget shows you a list of all your unread mail messages, including system notices regarding requests for approval, and user mail messages from clinicians and supervisors who have the rights to send manual mail messages through the VetView system.
Mail Widget
The Case Coordinator widget displays a list of accessions that are assigned to each case coordinator. You can customize which coordinators show up in your widget by clicking on the gear icon and selecting the names you want to display. The accession number, status, priority, age, and the date it was received will appear for each accession. This widget also supports pagination, when you have more than one window's worth of data.
