Using Hyperlinks

Definition: A hyperlink (link) is an element within a document that, when clicked with the mouse, takes the user to a place in a document, on the Internet or on an Intranet.

Depending on how your computer is setup, hyperlinks are used by simply clicking on the link with your mouse or by holding down the Control key while clicking on the hyperlink with the mouse.

The Quality Documents Reference Guide is organized by subject matter. The various documents are selected and opened by clicking on the hyperlinks displayed in blue, underlined text. The selected document then opens in a separate window for review or print. After a document has been opened, the hyperlink display usually changes from blue underlined text to purple underlined text. However, if the document containing the hyperlinks is closed and reopened, the hyperlinked text may again display as blue underlined text throughout the document.

****Note that unless each hyperlinked, opened document is closed, a large number of documents could potentially be open simultaneously. This may slow the processing ability of your computer. It is recommended that you unless you plan to return to a document in the near future, the document should be printed and/ or closed.

Navigating the Documents

The Quality Documents Reference Guide contains a Table of Contents, which is arranged by subject matter. Simply click on a topic in the Table of Contents to proceed to one of the document sections. Each section is cross referenced to the corresponding ASCLD/LAB© criteria and includes a brief explanation of the material contained within the section.

The name of each reference document is displayed and hyperlinked to the related reference document(s). At the end of each reference document, you may find hyperlinks that link to other documents, as a way of accessing related references. There is also a hyperlink that returns to the Reference Guide’s Table of Contents, enabling the user to easily continue through the entire set of approximately ninety reference documents.

****NOTE: You can use the Table of Contents to review the subjects covered in the Quality Documents Reference Guide. Each entry on the Table of Contents is hyperlinked to the related section within the Guide. In addition, a hyperlink is available at the end of each page that returns to the Table of Contents.

Tailoring the Documents to the Laboratory's Needs

 

While the instructions are not included, these documents can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your laboratory by adding or substituting your lab’s documents for those in the Document References folder. Links to those documents could then be added to the Reference Guide.
