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.
