Tech Tips
Last month we promised you some "tech tips" regarding how Policy takes your Standard Work Google document and recreates it in The PORT. This month we will delve into that process.
1. Once the Standard Work has been reviewed and approved to publish in The Port, the assigned Policy Writer creates a new document in The PORT project folder using a template that mirrors the SW template used in Google.
2. The contents of the Standard Work are copied from the Google document and pasted into the PORT document. All of the content is then formatted using a "stylesheet" containing list styles that follow the standard formatting used throughout The PORT.
This is why the formatting on your Standard Work may look different in The PORT than it looks in the Google Doc version.
3. After the basic formatting is added any needed bolding, highlighting and hyperlinks are added. TIP: If you are including hyperlinks in your Standard Work document, please check the links to make sure they work and that no special access is required to view the document you are linking to before submitting your document to Policy for review. We assume your document is complete and accessible to staff when you send it to us.
4. Last, we add the new Standard Work document to the PORT table of contents and we add hyperlinks to the SW on all of the appropriate landing pages. This way you can view the SW from several different pages.
More "friendly reminders" will be coming your way in November regarding the Policy review process for Standard Work and other documents submitted for inclusion in The PORT.
Featured Topic
This month, we are featuring the new Issuing or Stopping an Income Withholding Order (IWO) Standard Work as our featured topic. The focus of this new Standard Work is on how to set up or stop an IWO on a case. As the holiday season approaches, it's even more important to ensure that IWOs are set up properly so that the DCSS can collect payments and send them to Arizona families. It will also ensure that payments are stopped without any delays.
In the Spotlight
In the month of October the Policy Unit participated in more AZCares scope item grooming sessions and assisted the AZCares team with validating processes and proposed system programming, aligning with Federal Certification requirements and Federal & State law. In the coming months we will be participating in Pilot 2 training and preparing for implementation of the AZCares system.
