Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks provide connections between Web pages and within the same Web page. These connections provide easy access to more information. The DSD MMIS Reference Guide uses text as hyperlinks. Identify hyperlinks by blue color ink and a line under a word or phrase.

Position your cursor over a hyperlink. Click your mouse to move to the new information. Use the back arrow at the top of the screen to return to previous page.

MMIS displays service agreement and screening document panels in a specific order referred to as a queue. The DSD MMIS Reference Guide instructions follow the MMIS queue order. Click on the hyperlink at the end of each Web page to advance through the reference guides in queue order.

Navigation Links

Top navigation

The top navigation bar with the blue tabs allows the MMIS Reference Guide user to move to other pages on the DHS Web site:

  • · DHS Home (Public) Web site
  • · CountyLink Web site
  • · Manuals Home page
  • Left navigation

    The left navigation allows the user to navigate to the Table of Contents page of the DSD MMIS Reference Guide.

    Table of Contents navigation

    The Table of Contents page lists the chapters in the DSD MMIS Reference Guide. Each chapter contains links to specific topics related to that chapter. Click a link to view information.

    Breadcrumb navigation

    Below the top navigation, you find a set of text links called breadcrumb navigation. These give users a way to keep track of their location within the reference guide. The breadcrumbs show you exactly where you are within the reference guide. Click on one of the breadcrumbs to move to that page.

    Lower navigation

    The lower navigation is located at the bottom of each Web page. This contains the date the page was last posted and links to accessibility information, Web site policy and technical information, as well as how to contact the DHS Web master and a quick link to the top of the page.

    Navigating Pages

    Some MMIS Reference Guide pages contain more information than can fit on your computer screen at one time. There may be more information that you cannot see after the last line on the screen or to the right of the screen.

    Scrolling

    Scrolling is an easy way to navigate a page. You can scroll up and down and side to side by using either the vertical or horizontal scroll bars on the right side and bottom of the screen.

    To scroll using the onscreen scroll bars, position your cursor on the slider on the scroll bar. Hold the mouse down and drag the slider up or down on the vertical scroll bar or side to side on the horizontal scroll bar. You can also position your cursor over the arrows at the top and the bottom of the vertical scroll bar. Click the mouse once to move one line at a time or hold the mouse down to move multiple lines. You can position your cursor over the arrows at the left and right side of the horizontal scroll bar and click the mouse or hold the mouse down to move one or more spaces at a time.
