Soft background music plays throughout the video.
[00:05]
Welcome to the ALISS guidance videos. In this video, we'll show you around ALISS
[00:12]
to give you an understanding of some of the features available on the website.
[00:19]
We want ALISS to be accessible for everyone.
[00:22]
One way of doing this is through a ReachDeck accessibility toolbar,
[00:27]
which you can view by clicking on the “Accessibility Tools” button.
[00:33]
The toolbar has lots of great features:
[00:35]
it can read text out loud in your chosen language,
[00:39]
it can adjust the text size and contrast,
[00:42]
and it can simplify the page to make it easier to read.
[00:49]
You can find out more about the ALISS programme
[00:52]
in the “About ALISS” page.
[01:01]
Here, you can “Add to ALISS”,
[01:03]
but please check first if your organisation is already listed.
[01:09]
If it is not, continue with adding the organisation to ALISS.
[01:16]
You can make a search by either location,
[01:26]
by keyword,
[01:32]
and by category.
[01:36]
At the bottom of the page,
[01:38]
there are some useful links and documents to take a look at,
[01:42]
such as the “My Scottish Community” Alexa app, and a “How to Add to ALISS” guidance document.
[01:52]
ALISS has an AI search assistant.
[01:55]
Clicking the blue button opens a panel
[01:57]
where you can search aliss.org in a way that suits you.
[02:03]
ALISS also offers a “Quick exit” button,
[02:06]
which will instantly take you away from the ALISS site
[02:09]
and removes all traces of your search.
[02:19]
By default, the search is set to “Where”.
[02:22]
Pop a location into the search box, click “Search”
[02:26]
and you will see a list of all services in your area,
[02:29]
which you can then sort and filter,
[02:31]
to get to the results that you want to see.
[02:36]
On the search results page,
[02:38]
you will see a list of services available in your chosen location.
[02:42]
Each service has a short summary, which tells you a bit about the service.
[02:47]
If you decide you want to know more, just click on the name.
[02:55]
You can change the view you see of the results by clicking “Grid” view,
[02:59]
and see how many service results there are at the top of the list.
[03:03]
This will change as you filter your results.
[03:20]
There are a variety of sort and filter options
[03:23]
on the left hand side of the page, which will narrow your search
[03:26]
and help you find what you are looking for more easily.
[03:43]
Once you have narrowed your search
[03:44]
and found a service that you may be interested in learning more about,
[03:48]
click the name of the service for the full listing.
[03:54]
You will see a message at the top of the service listing
[03:57]
that tells you what the claim badge means.
[04:00]
You can request to claim or manage
[04:02]
and suggest an improvement to the service from this page.
[04:12]
