Title: MANUAL FOR END USERS

Manual for end users

The link http://rechten.uvt.nl/idls/ takes people to the start page.

Here, users can click through to FIDIS (if they came in from somewhere else), view the list of Correspondents, and find Navigation Support. The Navigation support will help them, if necessary, to track the right topic that they want to find information about. It explains which type of laws is listed under which topic.  

Users can search for information in four ways:  

1. by country (with a pop-up window listing all countries in the database);  

2. by topic (with a pop-up window listing all categories and subcategories in the database);  

3. by country and topic; or 

4. full-text search. 

Searching by country shows a pop-up window from which a country can be selected; if the user selects a country and clicks search, a list is shown of all entries relevant to this country.

Alternatively, the use can search by topic to get a list of countries:

If searched by country and topic, only the resulting entry – if available – will show in the list.

Also, a full-text search on keywords is possible; in the example shown, a search on passport (right-hand box) yields all entries contain the word ‘passport’.

By clicking on an entry in the list, the contents are shown: 

If users find gaps or incorrect information in the survey, they are invited to submit information to the IDLS team. By clicking on Contact, a message with the address of the IDLS team pops up.
