HELP
The complete Folio VIEWS User's
Guide in electronic format is available as a part of this product. It is accessed through
the HELP menu option. Folio HELP is a separate infobase and may be searched using all of
the operations described herein.
ORGANIZATION
Your Folio VIEWS version of the
Codified Ordinances is organized according to the print set: Index, Comparative Section
Table, Charter, and Component Codes.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Table of Contents allows you
to use the infobase like an electronic book. It allows you to quickly browse the infobase
and link in at any level since every heading in the Table of Contents is linked
automatically to the corresponding record in the infobase.
The Table of Contents is
hierarchical and is organized around the levels of the infobase. A plus sign in front of a
heading tells you that there are more levels within that heading. The Table of Contents
expands to show all levels in the infobase and collapses again to the main headings you
are using. Double click on the plus (+) or minus (-) sign next to the heading to expand or
collapse. Double click on an entry in the Table of Contents at any level to jump directly
to that record of the infobase.

The most important function of Folio VIEWS is
searching. Beside using the Table of Contents to quickly browse the contents of an
infobase and automatically link to the appropriate section there are two other basic ways
to perform a search including "locating a citation" and entering a
"query". |
|
|
|
CITE LOCATOR
When searching for a specific section number you can
use the Cite Locator found under the Search Menu. Type the citation in the box and select
OK. |

QUERY
Folio VIEWS provides instant results because every
word and number is indexed in an infobase. When you type in a word, combination of words
or a number, the "query map" instantly displays the search results. You can then
jump from one "hit" to the next or "backtrack" to previous hits. |

You can personalize your Municipal infobase to
make it even more efficient and to access most used information areas even faster. This
flexibility is one of Folio VIEWS' greatest assets. |
|
Before you customize your Folio VIEWS, a
"shadow file" is created, which is like a transparency or overlay to the
infobase. This allows you to keep your own notes, highlighters and bookmarks, but actually
stores these changes in a separate file from the infobase. You can have as many shadow
files an you need in your office. |
NOTES...
You can place electronic "sticky
notes" next to paragraphs or sections without disrupting the flow of information. A
small icon at the beginning of a record or paragraph will indicate that a note is
attached. Notes can be searched independently of the infobase. |
HIGHLIGHTER...
You can use electronic highlighters just as you
would highlight the text in a book. Each infobase can store an unlimited number of
highlighters, each customized with its own characteristics such as font, point size and
color, for quick visual identification. These can also be searched independently of the
infobase. |
BOOKMARKS...
You can use bookmarks to mark information or an
unlimited number of important areas. These bookmarks help users to return to key points
even quicker. |
