The Feedback and Help Icons
The Feedback icon, located on the right side of the ILLiad client, allows you to open the Feedback form from any page in the ILLiad client.

In addition to the Feedback icon, there is a Help icon on all forms in the ILLiad client. This is located at the top right of the client, and displays as a ? in a red bubble.
See Submitting Error Feedback for more information.
The Document Delivery Ribbon
The Document Delivery request form contains a content-sensitive ribbon that reflects Document Delivery processing and workflows. While the request form ribbon generally stays the same throughout the Document Delivery process, note that the Process section of the ribbon may vary according to the request status location.
Some of the commands, such as Route, contain menus to choose an action. Some perform an action, such as Cancel Request, and some, like Policies Directory, take you to a new location. Features that are not active in a particular queue are greyed out. The Document Delivery ribbon, when the request is in Awaiting Document Delivery Processing, contains the basic functions below.

Request Form Tab Bar
Much like the ILLiad main page, the Request form contains a variety of tabs on the open tab bar, displaying different information and allowing staff to switch between active forms without opening multiple forms. These multiple tabs on the Request form allow staff to compare the results from OCLC searching, Z39.50 sources and Pubmed all on the same form. As more sources are added to the Request form, staff can have multiple search results available to make the best choice for fulfillment. In addition to the default tabs, staff can create additional tabs to hold information from those default tabs as they customize the layout.
The defaults tabs are:
