Window Layout
The window for the AHCCCS Eligibility Policy Manual is divided into three panels: Top, Left, and Right.
The top panel is the toolbar and contains buttons for changing the left panel display, emailing corrections/questions, and a search field.
The left frame is used to display the table of contents, search results, or the keyword index. Clicking the appropriate button from the top toolbar will change what is displayed here.
The right frame will always display the currently selected manual section page.
Table of Contents
The Table of Contents can be accessed by clicking the “Contents” button, if it’s not already displayed. It is organized into three levels. The first two levels are “books” and the third level contains “pages”. Books organize content by chapters (1st level) and subchapters/topics (2nd level), while pages contain the actual policy. Clicking on a book will automatically load the first page of that section.
You can open pages by clicking on them from
the table of contents or you can use the previous and next arrows (
) to go page by page. The Table of Contents will
always highlight the page you are currently viewing.
Search
The search option allows you to find all policy sections that contain a word or phrase. Type the word or phrase you are looking for in the Search field and click “Go”.
The search results will display, in the left panel, a list of manual sections containing your search term(s) or assigned keywords matching your search term(s). A ranking system attempts to display the most relevant manual sections first.
Click on the title of result you want to look at and the manual section will open in the right panel. Your search term will be highlighted wherever it appears on the page. (Note: Search also considers keywords and keywords may be assigned to manual sections that do not contain the word itself. There is nothing to highlight when this occurs.)
Tips for searching:
Search looks for whole words and parts of words. For example, if your search term was “log”, the results would include “log”, “catalog”, “logo”, and any other words with “log” in it.
You can turn the highlighting function on or off by checking or unchecking the “Highlight search results” box.
You can change the number of results displayed at a time by changing the number in the “Search results per page” field. Use judgment though as a higher number per page may require longer processing time to display your results.
Use quotes when searching for an exact phrase. For example: “income groups” will only return results where “income” and "groups” appear together just as you typed it. Without quotes, search will return results where “income” and “groups” appear anywhere on the page regardless if together or separate.
Emailing Links to a Manual Section
If you need to cite or refer someone to a specific manual section, you can email a link directly to the page! Follow these steps:
Open the manual to the manual section you want to link to.
In the Table of Content, right-click on page link to open the sub-menu. From the sub-menu, click on "Copy Shortcut". This will copy the URL of the page to your clipboard.
Compose a new email. Paste the link in the body of the email by selecting the "Paste" command from Edit menu. (Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + v).
Complete your email and send.
Note for clicking links to specific manual sections: When you click on a link to a specific manual section, the top toolbar and table of contents will not immediately display. Click the "Show" link at the top of the page to restore the top toolbar and table of contents.
Tip: If you send a link to someone, be sure they know to click the "Show" link. You can even send a link to this page!
