### Overlay Buttons

The overlay offers several buttons at the top right.

#### Visibility

Click the **Eye** icon to make the overlay window more or less transparent.

#### Self-Dispatch

Click the **Self Dispatch** button to toggle on access to dispatching features:

* Previous/Next Call
* Attach/Detach from Call

Users must have the **Self Dispatch** permission in order to toggle this on.

#### **Include Emergency Calls**

When enabled (requires **Self Dispatch**) emergency calls will also be displayed in the overlay. Pressing the **Attach** button (enter) will automatically convert the emergency call to a dispatch call, attaching your unit.
