Online Guide Transmittal 2014-01: Online Guide Launch

Overview
The Online Guide is a web-based application that has been designed to house important Department information. This comprehensive tool was developed to enable DTA staff to easily locate information necessary to accomplish their day-to-day business from a single location. Organized by topic, the Guide consists of TAFDC, EAEDC, SNAP, and Business Process Redesign information, with links to Field Operations and Operations Memos, Regulations, Online Forms, Transitions, Job Aids, and other Department communication. In addition, where relevant, BEACON 3.0 instructions are embedded within the topics. An added feature to the Guide is the ability for staff to complete a search when looking for a particular piece of information.

Purpose
The purpose of this Transmittal is to:

• announce the availability of the Online Guide;
• introduce staff to the structure of the Online Guide;
• advise staff how to access and navigate topics within the Online Guide; and
• to describe Business Process Redesign related material that is accessible via the Online Guide.
