Downloading is not fully functional at present (spring 2012)
We are working on other aspects for now - so although you can download a copy, it is not as fully functional as it will be in due course.
What are you downloading?
Unlike ordinary Websites, this manual is what is known as a "
TiddlyWiki". It is easy to download and save a copy of the whole manual so you can run it from your computer, a secure server, or even from a USB stick - without having to be connected to the internet at all.
How do I download a copy?
- Go to the TiddlySpace menu (found via the Top menu bar when you have switched the menu to Advanced mode).
- Find your way to the Export tab
- Having opened the Export tab, click the big "download" button.
- When you click the "download" link, a copy of the whole manual (manual.html) will automatically be downloaded to your computer to wherever your computer usually saves downloads (sometimes this is to a "Downloads" folder, sometimes the desktop).
- Be patient as it is a file of about 2Mb - not huge, but not instantaneous.
- You may get an automatic warning sign asking you if you are sure you want to download this - click Yes to allow the download to proceed.
Using a downloaded manual to record notes:
See
Start a new patient file for additional advice.
You will need to:
- Rename the downloaded file to mark it out as that particular client's file.N.B. Do not change the extension at the end of the file name from ".html" as this is how the computer knows to use your browser to open and read it.
- Store it in a way that conforms to DataSecurity policies in your workplace.
- Note the Licensed nature of this manual and the restrictions that this places upon its use without prior agreement from the authors.
Problems
Downloaded copies of the manual do not require any additional software in your computer to run - they work from inside your web-browser. They work best in
Firefox a freely downloadeable internet browser, but they also work fine in Internet Explorer and Safari as well as others.
Sometimes these browsers need a little extra setting up, especially to allow you to edit and save content in your manual - once you have done this once, it doesn't need repeating. There is guidance for this available at:
