Editing the display time for grouped objects

Hello, I am having issues editing the display time for grouped items. I am using Captivate 7 and I love how now the grouped items only show as one item in the timeline because it reduces the number of rows visiblein the timeline for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects no longer individually appear in the timeline, I can't make any display adjustments to the grouped objects as a whole.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a work around? My main issue is that if I have to extend or shorten the audio for the slide, and I have assigned an advanced action to the grouped object, in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I have to now ungroup, make the adjustment, regroup, then reset the advanced action using the new group name. It is frustrating and time consuming.

To expand and view the grouped items on the timeline, you need to click the Arrow symbol next to the group name. Once you expand, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.
Alternatively, you can select the individual object of the group on the slide and adjust the timings from the Timing accordion. You can do this without ungrouping.

  • Display times for "action objects"

    I work on a MacBook Pro, MaxOSX 10.7.5, Captivate 6.
    I need to hide a button that we have made as part of a "overlay" GUI - a form of CSS. We created a master project and coded it to be downloaded to all our other projects as a overall GUI.
    But in some projects I'd like to hide a single button - not to be able to press. Not through the whole project but after let's say three to five slides. I tried using a simple smartshape but the hidden area can still be clicked. Using clickboxes or button allow me to over ride the "CSS-button" but they have a major flaw: they only last the rest of the slide and I'd like to have them throughout the entire project.
    Copy-paste is NOT an option in this case - the project lenghts are vast ...
    Is there a clickbox, button, other object or advanced action that could make an "action object" to be displayed throughout the entire project?
    Or is there a widget och well trimmed programmer out there that could solve this?
    Very grateful for all good tips and answers!
    /Cheers!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the welcoming seems like a good forum
    to hang out in and learn new things!
    I guess I wasn't as clear as I should when describing
    my issue.
    In our work we have made a "Master Project" to function
    as a sort of CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) - just like you did in
    former web design.
    The Master Project functions roughly as a Master Slide
    but it has some benefits that a Master Slide isn't capable of.
    We use the Master Project to export our interface to
    all the other projects within the e-learning project.
    So instead of having to make changes in the Master Slide
    in every project we have a better control of GUI
    changes affecting the overall e-learning project.
    Your links have given us a great tool to work with!
    We have completely missed the possibility to convert
    a smartshape to a button and with that making it
    posible to be displayed throughout the project.
    Many thanks for those tips!
    All the best and a happy week-end!

    Hello and welcome to the forum, But I don't understand your question very
    well. Perhaps it is only a matter of terminology. What do you mean by 'Master
    Project'? Is that a template, in which you have a custom theme, perhaps some
    advanced actions, variables, and of course master slides? You need interactive
    objects on all or a lot of slides, correct? I have been blogging a lot about
    the shape buttons, only interactive objects that allow that. Even did a
    webinar about them for Adobe. Here are some

    such a shape button, do not put them on a master slide, but time them for the
    rest of the project, starting with the slide where they should appear for the
    first time. Reason is that objects on master slides do not have an ID, which
    means that they cannot be hidden or disabled using a (advanced) action.

  • How to edit the starting time for clips in properties?

    Hello there ,
    I’m testing the CS5 Audition right now and find it great except for one thing:
    In the properties for each clip there is a starting time. But it just can’t be edited!
    I can change the starting time of the whole session – yes.
    But not the ones of the individual clips. Only by moving them around and that is not very precise.
    Is there a way to edit this starting times for the clips by typing in numbers?
    Thank you :).

    But wasn't that easier before?
    Do I have to save any time I make a change?
    As far as I'm aware, you've always had to save changes to metadata to make them permanent!
    One more please:
    Can't I group Clips and move them together anymore?
    One more thing please:
    Many people say that CS5 is worse than 3.
    Why are all those people bothered?
    No you can't group clips in CS5.5. And the reason that a lot of people are bothered is - because you can't group clips in CS5.5.
    There are a few other reasons cited too, but I think that the lack of clip grouping may be at the top of the list, judging from the number of comments about it. If you look around the forum you will find a lot of discussion about this.

  • Can I edit the start time for all the podcasts from a single subscription downloaded to my itunes? i.e. want to creat a playlist of all the podcasts I have from a particular show...

    I want to creat a playlist of all the podcasts I have from a particular show, want to edit out the first minute on all to skip the intro. Do not want to edit over 200 podcast manually. Is there a solution?

    View menu -> Show Status Bar
    Then the total play time for any group of tracks you select in the Songs area, for any selected album or for any selected playlist will show at the bottom of the iTunes window as in previous versions.
    The ability to open playlists in separate windows was for some unfathomable reason removed in iTunes 11. Whether it will ever come back none of us here can say, but you can express your need for that feature via Apple's feedback page:

  • Editing Display Time for Slides

    Hello! I'm fairly new to Adobe Captivate and am using version 5.5. I am having trouble changing the display time for some of my slides (Captivate won't let me adjust display time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds), but I can adjust other slides with similar animations with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

    Hi There,
    Can you check your time if you have any image or any object set to rest of the slide, then you need to first change it back to 2 seconds and then change the slide display from 4 to 2 seconds.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • How can I get Messages to show the correct time for read receipts?

    Messages in Mountain Lion shows the wrong time for read receipts. For example, my iPad will show a message was read at 3:37 pm but if I open Messages on my MacBook, the read receipt shows the time that I opened the Messages app as opposed to the time the message was actually read. This is not too much of an issue if my iPad is handy, but really, shouldn't Messages on my MacBook be able to show the correct time the message was read? It syncs all the other infromation with Messages on iOs.
    I should mention that if Messages is running on my MacBook when the recipient reads the message, then it does show the correct time the message was read. It's if Messages was not running and I re-launch it that the read receipt time gets mixed up.

    HI,
    As far as I am aware Messages marks or time stamps an iMessage at the time of receipt rather then the time you got around to reading it.
    I will admit that in most cases reading and receiving as the app opens will be near enough the same time in some conversations.
    Adding Time Stamps to Chat is what iChat has always done particularly with AIM based Chats.
    The "Sync" in Messages is "display on all devices"  and after that each iMessages is dealth with separately on each device.
    There is no syncing of deleting/dimssing an iMessages or having read it on another device.

  • I am trying to change the display time in Captivate 5...

    When I try to shorten the length of a slide either in properties or by clicking the end and dragging it, like in Captivate 4, it keeps going back to the original time.  Normally I record a demonstration and when I am done adding the effects and the voice I have to shorten or lengthen a slide, but I am unable to do this in CP5.  Please help.

    Hello,
    If the slide is longer than 3 sec you can change the 'Display time' in the Properties panel, General section too. But here you cannot get below 3 sec. Dragging in the timeline allows me to go below 3 sec, but you have first to shorten the timeline of the objects before you can change the duration of the slide. To be sure I just tried again and was able to get to a minimum time of 0.1 sec with that workflow. In the screenshot it is 0.3 sec. If you have FMR, video or audio however the duration of that object will be responsable for the duration of the slide.
    Hope it works for you too, cannot explain why it is not possible with the Properties panel, which will show correctly the duration after you changed it with the Timeline.

  • Residence Times for Archiving Object

    Hi SAP Archiving Experts,
    I am working on an analysis Project.I have finalised the List of Archiving Objects and need the residence times fro each archiving object.
    Can any one let me know the source from which i can get the Standard SAP Recommended / the BEST PRACTICE for taking the Residence Time for the Archiving Objects...
    Mainly : FI, CO , HR Transaction Area Archiving Objects....
    Thanks.Kumar

    Hello Kumar,
    Residence times for archive objects usually differ from company to company as it depends on the needs of the business (and what they will agree to).  Some companies will use a standard residence time across all archive objects to make it easy for everyone to remember.  For example, some companies will use Current Year plus 2 as a base for all of the transactional data.  The technical archive objects (such as idoc's, application logs, etc.), will have a shorter residence time.
    Some of the HR objects will have a 2 year residence time hardcoded into the archive programs which you cannot change.
    The book Archiving Your SAP Data from SAP Press gives some examples of common residence times.  The second edition of this book is now available but I have not seen that yet and do not know if this version provides additional information.
    Hope this helps.

  • Differentiating the asset class for group assets

    Hi,
    I want to create group assets in AS21. For creating group assets I want to create a seperate asset class. I could not find any option of differentiating the asset class for group assets in transaction OAOA (i.e., Define Asset Class)
    How we can identify that an asset class can be used only for group assets and not for individual assets.

    <<Plagiarised from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/4f/71dfff448011d189f00000e81ddfac/content.htm>>
    HI
    A group asset is represented in the system by a separate master record. The structure of this master record corresponds to the structure of the normal asset master record. You can determine the structure of this master record using screen layout control, just as you do for normal master records. Just the same as a normal asset, a group asset can have any number of sub-numbers. In this way it is possible, for example, to collect all the acquisitions for one year in a single sub-number master record at the level of the group asset.
    There is a separate master data transaction for creating group assets (Asset ® Create ® Group asset). This transaction corresponds to the transaction for creating normal assets. However, there are certain special considerations to keep in mind for master data maintenance of group assets:
    Group assets can only be deleted when all the assets belonging to them have been marked for deletion.
    Group assets can only manage depreciation areas that have been specially marked. You mark them using an indicator in the company code specific specifications for the depreciation area (FI-AA Customizing: Specify depreciation areas for group assets).
    Group assets have to be assigned to an asset class, just as normal assets do. You use an indicator in the asset class to specify that the class can be used only for group assets.
    Assignment of an Asset to a Group Asset
    You can assign an asset to a group asset by specific depreciation areas. For this purpose, there is a special field in the asset master record (in the detail display of each depreciation area). You enter the number of the group asset in this field. Once this entry is made, the system calculates and posts the depreciation for this depreciation area only at the level of the group asset. In this way, you can also assign one asset to different group assets in different depreciation areas.

  • CP5 - Default display times for Text Captions

    Hi there,
    I'm using Captivate 5.0.1 and trying to figure out how to do something that was in Captivate 4. In CP 4, I could edit the Preferences and set a default display time for new text captions. By default it is set to 3 seconds for all new text captions, but you could change it. In CP 5 the default is set to 3, does anyone know how to change it?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello,
    It is exactly in the same place as in Captivate 4: Preferences, Global, Defaults. See screenshot. Or perhaps I do not understand your question well? If you are looking for Apply to all, you have to go in the Properties, but I did not understand that this was your question.

  • Editing the Query name for all reports in PRD.

    Dear All,
    I have created 25 reports using Query Designer.We have moved all the reports to BI Production. And Clients are using these reports using the Tool Bex Analyser.
    Every time they are navigating through open Query -> Info Areas -> Data targets and Query.
    Instead of going this way, is there any other way to Open a query easily.
    And they wants to modify the Report name and the Technical name for all the reports. Can we able to edit the Query name for all reports, or do i need to go for SAVE AS for all querys.
    Pls Suggest.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    1. For the first question; if it user specific query then ask the users to save them at the FAVORITES so that there is no need to go to the dataprovider specific.
    Or they can create the reports as favorites user menu screen of that particular user.
    2. In order to change the technical name and description of the queries goto RSZC t-code> give the source and target infoprovider as same> select queries>click on the reports>click on transfer selections-->
    Then you get a screen to change the description and technical name.
    But this is pertained to Infoprovider level.
    You can see all the reports on the infoprovider (cube/ods).
    Hope you understood.

  • Changing the display profile for multiple users at once.

    Is it possible to change the display profile for multiple users at once? We would like ot be able ot add tabs and channels globally, but right now we can anly do it for once user at a time. Also, is it possible to have certain generic display profiles that all users use? like an admin profile and a tech support profile and a normal suer profile? Any help is appreciated...

    Yes this possible using the dpadmin batch command.
    Please check the dpadmin documentation for the batch command.
    For generic display profile what you can do is create users and assign the user particular roles. The display you would be creating would be for the roles. The users belonging to that role would inherit that display profile.

  • Banner Display Time for One App Only

    I recently found an article (http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/29/change-notifications-banner-time-mac-os-x/#commen t-607754) showing a Terminal command to change the default display time for banner-style notification. It's a great thing, but then I thought...could there be any way to apply it to one app at a time? Say I want 10 seconds for Mail.app, 3 seconds for Messages and so forth.
    Can it be done? Thanks.

    It's called Trip Journal. The problem is, I think, that my iCloud backup wasn't current, because I'm travelling overseas, so data transfer has been largely up, and I don't think it has been backing up even when I was connected to wifi at my hotel.
    I did back up my iPhone to the computer this morning -- but that was after the crash occurred, so I don't know if any data will be salvagable.
    @Norman - I tried that, multiple times, but it hasn't worked.
