Abstract
Morse foliated open books were introduced by the authors (arXiv 2002.01752v1), along with abstract and embedded versions, as a tool for studying contact manifolds with boundary. This article illustrates the advantages of the Morse perspective. We use this to extend the definition of right-veering to foliated open books and we show that it plays a similar role in detecting overtwistedness as in other versions of open books.
