The IdM TK interacts with the Master Veteran Index (MVI). It is a primary tool used by the Healthcare Identity Management (HC IdM) staff for identifying, managing, and resolving identity issues. The MVI POC can use the TK to create and submit requests for HC IdM analysts to research and follow-up. Logging on and off XE "Timeout" XE "Log on" XE "Log off" To log on: Enter your NT User Name. (Your VA Login ID is the same as your User Name.)Enter your NT Password.If the Window's Domain is not automatically populated, enter your Windows Domain.Click the check box to accept the Identity Management - User Agreement. (Keep in mind that you can tab to the Accept Agreement check box, but the system does not focus on the check box. The Accept Agreement text is highlighted but the check box is actually selected. To accept the Agreement, press the spacebar and a check mark is displayed.)Click Logon. See Figure 1.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 1: Logon ScreenTo log off:Click Log off in the menu bar. You can log off from most of the pages except the Logon screen. Log off is also available from the Menu and Navigation bars.IdM TK has a built-in idle feature. After 60 minutes of inactivity, the idle warning message is displayed. See Figure 2. Enter your password and click Submit. After you log back on, you are returned to the screen you were previously working on.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 2: Idle Message XE "Menu bar" \* MERGEFORMAT About the Menu BarThe Menu Bar contains the current date, Help, and Log off links. See Figure 3. Log off also displays in the Navigation Bar. See Figure 4. Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 3: Menu Bar XE "Navigation bar" \* MERGEFORMAT About the Navigation BarThe Navigation Bar is on the left and contains links to Home, Reminders, and Manage Requests. Log off also displays in the Navigation Bar.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 4: Navigation BarWorking with Internet Explorer XE "Internet Explorer:tips for using" To get the recommended behavior, all users must use the standard VA configuration for Internet Explorer. Use of the Back button on Internet Explorer is not recommended as undesirable results may occur. Use the links on the Navigation Bar.Pop-up windows are always independent from the application window. Pop-ups do not close when you are closing the application browser window or when you are logging off. Be sure to close all pop-up windows after you log off.If you need to have more than one IdM TK session open at the same time, be sure to click the Internet Explorer icon to open a new browser. Do not select File > New Window in your current session.?Disable Tabbed Browsing XE "Internet Explorer:disable tabbed browsing" XE "Internet Explorer:disable tabbed browsing" XE "Tabbed Browsing:disable" XE "Internet Explorer:settings" IdM TK was designed to run on non-tabbed enabled browsers. You must disable tabbed browsing on the VA standard browser for the IdM TK to work properly. If you do not disable tabbed browsing, patient context may not be kept distinct and separate between open TK sessions. Here are the instructions:In Internet Explorer V7 and V9, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.Click the General tab, and then in the Tabs section, click Settings.Clear the Enable Tabbed Browsing check box.Click OK twice.Close Internet Explorer, and then open it again. For procedures on using attachments with Internet Explorer, go to REF _Ref356398136 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Internet Explorer: Attaching Files, page PAGEREF _Ref356398139 \h 21.Working with Firefox XE "Firefox:tips for using" If you are using Firefox with the Toolkit, it is recommended that you install the Multifox 1.3.5 add-in. If you want to have more than one session open in TK, install Multifox 1.3.5After installation, navigate to New Tab -> New Identity Profile to create a new browser.With Firefox, Caseworkers can use Spell Check when entering Notes for a Task or Request.To view attachments on the Request Details page, you can define what action Firefox will take for each file type it tries to download. In this way, the browser will not attempt to preview the file in the browser window. You cannot add or delete a file type from the list.? It is recommended that the common attachment types, such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx be associated with the appropriate Microsoft application.?Select Firefox > Options > Applications.? Select the action, and then click OK.For procedures on using attachments with Firefox, go to REF _Ref356398253 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Firefox: Attaching Files, page PAGEREF _Ref356398253 \h 20.Managing RequestsAt VistA sites, POCs who need research assistance from the HC IdM team, can create and submit requests for HC IdM analysts to follow-up. Other possible users include Health Eligibility Center (HEC) POCs and Facility Privacy Officers. The TK is the software tool that HC IdM and the POC use to submit, assign, and resolve requests. The TK also provides the audit/history of the request. Home XE "Home page" When you first log on to the TK, the Home/My Requests screen, Figure 5 is displayed. This is the Home screen for POCs. You can use the Home page to see the Caseworkers assigned to your Requests. In this example, the first Request has a status of Ready for Review. When a Request has a Ready for Review status, it’s important for you to review the work that HC IdM has performed to resolve the issue reported in the Request. See REF _Ref340663919 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Viewing Request Notes, page PAGEREF _Ref340663922 \h 22. Notice that you can also click Create New Request from this screen.
