Inbox

The WebOPSS system introduces the concept of an Inbox similar to the physical inbox that sits on one’s work desk.  The WebOPSS Inbox stores and lists all notifications that a user has been sent in the form of messages and tasks assigned to the user.  Notifications in the WebOPSS Inbox system can also include system-wide messages to inform the user community of an upcoming system upgrade, policy change, or any other general FAA information.

The new features used to enhance two-way communication between the program office, field, and industry users are:

• Summary (contains Messages and Tasks)
• Tasks
• Messages
  
  

WebOPSS Home Tasks

Upon login, the WebOPSS Home page will display any available new task information, including all tasks and messages received, with icons indicating the different status of the item (i.e., the icon for a completed task will be different from that of a new message):

The list that may appear immediately upon login contains the same information that can be accessed by clicking on Summary from the navigation bar (see below). This information will remain accessible at any time during the user’s WebOPSS session by clicking on the Home link in the breadcrumb path.

There are five icons that may appear in the tables for user Summary, Tasks, and Messages:

• : the plain envelope icon indicates a Message that has already been read.
• : the envelope with a star icon indicates a new Message.
• : the clipboard with a star icon indicates a new Task.
• : the plain clipboard icon indicates a Task that has already been viewed but not completed.
• : the clipboard with a checkmark icon indicates a completed Task.
