New Presentation Format for RT Cards

In the new card database view, cards can be read directly in the browser without separate downloads or additional tools. The 200 most frequently used guideline and regulatory cards have already been converted, and all new cards are created in the new format. The conversion of the remaining previously published cards is currently underway.

  1. Improved Search
    Use keywords to find the cards you are looking for. See the section Search View below.
  2. Card Basic Information
    Displays the card ID, publication date, and the collections in which the card is included. The content is tied to the card ID, meaning that whether you read the PDF version or the new presentation format, the content is always identical. You can therefore safely reference the content using the card ID. Clicking the collection name takes you to the collection’s homepage.
  3. General Site Links
    The My Folders link provides access to cards and RYL references you have saved. The My Services section lists all online services to which you have access.
  4. Card-Specific Tools
    You can create notes related to the card and share them within your organization, share a link to the card, save the card to personal or company folders, and download the card in PDF format.
  5. Table of Contents and Navigation
    The card’s table of contents also serves as its navigation menu. In lengthy tables of contents, subsections can be expanded or collapsed. At the end of the table of contents, you will find a list of all images and tables included in the card.
  6. Version History
    Allows you to follow the card’s replacement history and locate versions that were valid at specific points in time.
  7. Related Content
    The More on This Topic section contains links to related guideline cards, product information, and other relevant materials.
  8. Provide Feedback
    By clicking the thumbs-up/thumbs-down icon, you can indicate whether you found the information you were looking for. You can also provide detailed text feedback about the card or a specific section of its content. We continuously improve the service and its content based on user feedback, so your input is greatly appreciated.

Elements Within Card Content

Card Links

When you hover over a card link within the content, information about the linked card and its validity status is displayed. If the card has already been archived, you can use its version history to locate the corresponding currently valid card.

Search View

The improved search function now allows you to filter searches by a card’s validity period and sort search results either by publication date or alphabetically. In cards using the new format, search results can also point directly to a specific section within the card.
