The OVERS system will now allow you to enter and search for names that contain common international letters.

Special characters can be typed by holding down the Alt key while also typing the 4-digit number code corresponding with the character. For instance, if you want to type the name Nunez with a tilde over the middle 'n', you would first type the letters N and u. To type the 'n' including a tilde, you would hold down the Alt key while typing the numbers 0241. Once you've typed the special character, you can complete the name by typing as usual.

We now provide live training webinars on a monthly basis. These demonstrations are designed as introductory courses for first-time users of the system or for users who need a refresher on the basics.

Additional resources such as User Guides and self-paced tutorials can be found on the training page of our website.

If you have several users and would like to request training tailored to the needs of your facility contact Kerry Lionadh, the OVERS Training Coordinator, at 971-673-1197 or by email at kerry.l.lionadh@state.or.us.
