When you receive Ovid, all journals are marked N by default. In the middle column the journal titles appear in alphabetical order. In the Journal Names screen you always work with one journal at a time-the highlighted journal. The right-hand column displays the message number associated with each journal name. When a journal is coded with a message, it means that a message number has been associated with the journal name.
Any new journals added in updates have the null message as well.
As you add messages to the system and apply them to journal titles, the message number in this right column changes to reflect the message numbers you have applied. Messages To create and edit messages. To Letter Allows you to quickly move through the list of journal names. As each letter is typed the system moves forward to that place in the list. The next time you type, the jump-to feature reactivates.
