An E-Code
screen is divided into three screens:
There are
three ways to navigate an E-Code:
The Table of
Contents in the left frame of the screen, expands and collapses by clicking on
the + (plus) and - (minus) signs next to each title link, and can be used to
navigate through the Code by clicking on a specific title.
Expand the
Table of Contents by clicking on the + (plus) signs next to each title listed.
Once a title has been fully expanded, a - (minus) sign will appear next to it.
Titles with - (minus) signs next to them may be 'collapsed' to shorten the
Table of Contents.
The Table of
Contents will expand to show all parts of the Code from Division Title to
Chapter title to Article title and, finally, Section title. Once you have found
the portion of the Code you wish to view, click on the specific title and that
text will appear in the right (document) frame of the screen.
(NOTE: Some E-Codes
have Table of Contents that are lengthy and run-over
to a second page. To view the rest of the Table of Contents, scroll to the
bottom right portion of the left frame and click on the right arrow.)
Searching
an E-Code
The search
box is found in the bottom frame of the E-Code screen. Keying specific words
into the search box and clicking on the Search button will help you find places
in the code where those words are located.
Type specific
keywords into the search box in the frame at the bottom of the screen. Click
the search button. The first instance of the words you are searching on will
appear in the right frame of the screen. To view the next appearance of the
words searched on, click on the double right arrow button in the bottom frame
of the screen (near the search box). Continuing to click on the double right
arrow button will help you browse only those portions of the E-Code where the
words you keyed into the search box appear.
A second
option for viewing those portions of the code appropriate to your search is to
expand the Table of Contents (in the left frame) looking for titles have
numbers to the left of them. If a number appears next to the title, then the
keywords you searched on appear within that title. The numbers indicate the frequency
with which the keywords appear in those particular chapters/articles/sections.
Using a wildcard to help your search:
Using a wildcard symbol such as an asterisk (*) or a question
mark (?) will help you find variations on word you are searching for.
The question mark (?) character searches for one character. For
example, the search wom?n
would find "woman" or "women."
The asterisk (*) character searches for
multiple characters. For example, the search th*t
will find "thought," "that," and anything else starting
with "th" and ending with "t."
The search run* will find "run" and anything that begins with
run (running, runaways, runway, runoff, etc).
Phrase Search:
To search for a phrase (more than one word which you want to be
found together), surround the phrase in quotation marks ("). For example:
"longevity bonus" or "department of administration".
(NOTE: It is
not possible to print the entire E-Code at once.)
Portions of the E-Code may be printed, page-by-page. Click the cursor in the frame of the E-Code which you wish to print. Then, either click the Print button in your browser, or choose the File drop-down menu from the top of your browser screen and choose the Print option.
