Using the Application

View details on our product features and find out about tips and tricks for your Unbound Android product.

Launching the Application

Launch the application by selecting the Applications tab at the bottom of your Android desktop. Tap the application icon to open it. Your Android-based device allows you to navigate in either Touch or Non-touch mode. In Touch mode, simply tap or touch the screen with your finger to navigate. In Non-touch mode, use the trackball.

Home Screen

The home screen displays your available content. Some applications contain more than one content channel. If so, open the desired resource by selecting it from the list.

Syncing

We recommend that you sync your device often to ensure that you have the most up-to-date content. To sync your device, return to the application’s home screen, then tap the sync icon (opposite facing arrows) in the upper left corner.

Jump To

To find an entry quickly and to avoid scrolling through an entire index, use the Jump To feature. From the Index screen, tap the "Jump to..." text box located near the top of the screen. Begin typing the word you’d like to find. The list will automatically scroll to the location in the index that matches the characters you type.

Favorites

The Unbound™ Platform allows you to mark important information as a Favorite so you can return to it easily at any time. To view a list of your favorite records, tap the Favorites entry at the top of your list of resources on the home screen. (You must have at least one favorite for the Favorites entry to appear.)

Note: Tapping on the application icon will bring up a list of available content and your Favorites.

To create a Favorite, first navigate to the record you’d like to signify. Next, simply press the star icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen.




Once you press the star icon you will momentarily see a message confirming which record you’ve added.



The highlighted star remains and indicates that the record is a favorite.





To remove a Favorite, return to the record and simply press the star again, returning the star to gray (as above).

Cross Links

Unbound Medicine’s Cross Links feature enables you to access related content across the application’s resources.

This feature will only appear when linked resources are available. If a linked resource is available, you’ll see the Cross Links icon (opposite pointing arrows) appear in the tool bar at the bottom of the screen.

Tap the icon and you’ll be presented with a new screen which lists all available Cross Links. The icon appearing next to each entry identifies the linked resource. To return to the original resource, use the back arrow in the upper left corner.

Selecting a Resource

The home screen lists your available content. To open a resource, simply tap and select that entry. Also, keep in mind that several Unbound Medicine applications allow you to edit your list of resources by logging in to the companion website.

Reminder: The reader works with the navigational features of your Android-based device to help you quickly locate the information you need:

• Use the touchscreen to scroll, to select resources, etc.
• To follow your path backwards, use your device’s back arrow
• To return to the Home screen, you have several choices:
  • Tap Menu on your device; then select the Home button.

Also, you may return to that resource’s home page by tapping the icon in the upper-right corner once.

Selecting an Index

A resource may be organized by multiple indexes, all of which you will find displayed in a list. To select a particular index, simply tap its title.

Selecting an Entry

To find an entry quickly, use the touchscreen to scroll or the "Jump to" feature as described above. To select an entry, tap its title.

Viewing a Record

Depending on the content, multiple subsections may be available when viewing a record. To jump to a particular subsection, click on the sections icon at the top right corner to see a list of available subsections. Tap the desired subsection. The section you are currently viewing will be highlighted in yellow. To return to the record page, use the back button. To select a new page simply tap its title.
