The Overview pane at the bottom of the OT window outlines the stepsfor the preparation of a new science proposal and for the submissionof an observing program for an approved project i.e. Phases 1 and2. Only one is displayed at a time; which one can be selected usingthe arrow in the bottom right corner.

In each of the panels the user can click on each of the steps; thiscauses the Contextual Help box to display theinstructions on how to complete the chosen step. This explains whereto find the appropriate menu options or toolbar icons, as well asproviding shortcuts for performing the relevant task. This pane can bedisplayed at all times, but as it is mainly meant for novice users, itcan be minimised using the arrows in the corner.
