Grouping elements on a slide

I am using Captivate v4.
Is it possible to select different elements placed onto a slide and create a "group" - as is possible in PowerPoint ?
For example - I have created an magnified view of an area visible on the slide itself. I have placed around the magnified view a highlight box and lines that direct the user to the location of the smaller item on the main image on the slide. In total I have 5 elements that make up my "magnified" view and it would be good to turn the whole magnified view into a group so their timings etc could be done just once, not for each seperate element that make up the magnified view.
Here's hoping.....
Noel

Sorry. This is not something that Captivate can do as yet.
You'll be happy to know that others feel as you do that this would be a useful addition to the feature set.
Feel free to log and enhancement request for it.

How to Group Elements on Slide

I cannot figure out how to select and group several elements
on a slide in Captivate 3. I would swear that I could do this in
Captive 2!! Anyone know?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat
Do you mean to permanently group them? If so, that option has
never existed to my knowledge. If you meant to temporarily group
them so you move two or more at the same time, you either lasso
them by drawing the bounding box around part of each, or press and
hold the Ctrl key while you click to select them.
Cheers... Rick

Can't group elements , although they have not been locked.

Hello out there ...
I am selecting all elements within a slide using the shift key; however, the "group" command remains inactive. I have not not "locked". The master slide in question is "title and bullets - left".
What am I doing wrong, or not doing ?
Tks for any help.

Thank you Brian.
I was hoping for a few more replies, but it's a matter of trying things out I guess. I am new at Keynotes, but I am learning. I took a "One to One" lesson in Melbourne, which although expensive, was very profitable. I think it's a fantastic program.
Tks again

Repeating a group element on each page of a report.

I have a report where I need to repeat a group element on each page. The element is from the first group in the data. It is in the center group. Currently, the values from this group only print when the group changes. Everything I try does not work. Does anyone have any ideas. I am attaching a sample of the data. Along with the rtf document. I am using the BI Publisher plug in in Word to create the template.

Hi,
You should add a first level of grouping in your subreport on a fake formula field with a constant value. Put your header and footer information in this group header and footer. In the group option make sure to check the "repeat group header on each page option".
This group will act as a page header + footer within your subreport.
good luck!
Guy

Any way to *cut* an element from a slide?

Is there any way to cut an element on one slide (such as a
text box, mouse movement) and delete it, or cut it and paste it
into/onto another slide?
All I see are options to Copy Background, which when you
paste into another slide it REPLACES the existing background), or
to cut/delete entire slides.
Why would I want to do this?
Sometimes I want to remove text boxes and highlight boxes
COMPLETELY from a slide because they appear in published files even
if their layer visibility is set to hidden. (Probably a bug in CP4)
Sometimes I want to take a mouse movement and put it on
another slide.
I see no way to work with (cut or paste) elements in the time
line.
Can anyone help?

Normally the Cut, Copy and Paste options are available when
working with objects in Captivate. By chance are any of them
locked? If so, that may explain why the option isn't available to
you.
Look in the Timeline and see if there is a Padlock icon
listed. If so, click it to unlock it.
Cheers... Rick
the were not locked, but I have found you cannot Delete a
single element if it is hidden on the timeline.
Also, you can not delete multiple elements at the same time,
and that some elements are tied to others on the timeline and you
have to delete them in a certain order sometimes.
I think Flash still has a much better timeline editing
capabilities.

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others.

Display grouping elements r repective page footers in hyp:IR STUDIO

Hi All ,
I am facing a problem with Hyperion IR Studio at the time of display grouping elements in receptive page footers.
eg: say I have a group 'A' and its corresponding elements are like A1,A2,A3....
If query(from dashboard) for report related to Group 'A'..My report shows the data related to all its elements(A1,A2,...).I need to show these grouping elements in the page footer on their corresponding pages, for example, my report has generated with first 4 pages related to Grouping element 'A1' and next two pages(5th,6th) for grouping element 'A2'..here I need to show 'A1' in the page footer on first 4 pages and 'A2' on 5th & 6th pages and like-wise.
Is there any possibility that we can show grouping elements in their receptive page footers...
Hyperion :-
Version : IR reporting studio 11.1.1.3
Thanks in Advance,

hey, I just realised, that you have the same problem as me, though mine is a studio xps1340 with a 9500M.
Did you make any progress in configuring your xorg.conf or anything else? Please say yes...

How to add an attribute to "group" element in the DataTemplate dataStructur

Hi,
I want to add an attribute to the group element in the dataStructure section of DataTemplate. I want my output XML file to look like:
<G_EMP xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org">
<ENAME>John</ENAME>
</G_EMP>
This can be done in Oracle Reports 6i by setting a value to the XMLTag attribute in the property pallette of G_EMP group in the report. Please let me know if there is a way to do the same in the Data Template.
So far I've observed only three attibutes that can be used with group element (name,dataType,source). Is there any other attribute that I can use to get the afore mentioned XML structure.

Problem in repetetion of the value of parent group element in each PDFpage

I am using data template in BI PUB. I have table containing Region_Name , Sales_Rep_Name and amount. I need to show the region_name(parent group element) on the top(not in header) of the next and subsequent pages . under same region_name if sales_rep_name(child group element) is large enough not to fit in a single page, then same region_name should appear in the next page. But this name is not repeting in every page of the generated PDF.

Group elements, price classes etc

Hi "U" guru's,
I'm trying to understand the following config aspects of DM. Can someone help me with understanding of each point and what would be the values related to this and why these will be used?
1)Group elements (register grp, command grp) for device category->what are the different possible values and Use?
2)Price classes and price levels in the billing master data in contract billing-->what are the different possible values and Use?
3)Reference material for creating material/device category->what are the different possible values and Use?
4)What are functional and cosntruction classes? e.g?
5)Defined different manufacturers of devices and installations---> Is this pure customization in each project implementations? or SAP has std values?
Thanks
raj

Hi Raj,
1)There are following grouping:
a. Register groups:- Group of registers that belong to one or more devices or device categories.e.g. no of registers to the device i.e. 0,1,2,4..
b.Grouping together of several commands in a logical way. Example: for street lighting, the command group is made up of the commands turn on, diminish power, and turn off.
c.Group of interfaces of one or more device categories or devices. Example: a group of several pulse input points and a modem interface in the case of remote meters.
2)The Price classes and price levels are Classification of device categories that are treated with respect to price. Example: In conjunction with the price level, the price class is used to determine the rental price.
3)Reference material for creating material/device category->what are the different possible values and Use?
4) Construction classes : First summarization level in the classification of device categories.Several similar device categories can be grouped into one construction class.
The functional classes are Second summarization level in the classification of device categories. e.g. Several device categories or construction classes (each containing several device categories) can be grouped into one function class.
With regards,
Sunil

When would you use "Hide" elements on a slide ?

Hi
Could anyone give me an example of when they use the "Hide" and "Lock" elements on a slide option.
Trying to get my head around who I might make use of them...in case I am missing out on something.
I am using Cap v4 but believe these options also works in v5.
Thanks,
Noel

@spbankfin,
Thanks for your reply.
It was more about the option to hide/lock the elements on an individual slide (in the timebar) rather than hide a complete slide I was asking about.
Have you ever used either of those options ?
Noel

Ordering of xml group elements

Hi
I have a Document object created over the xml file, initially having same type of group elements with differen type of information in the predefined order. later if any time i modify it to add new group of same type by default i am able to add it to next sibiling, instead i want to maintain the order.
i am having order number as part of group elemnt attribute order.
e.g
i have initial xml document like below
<product order ="2">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>
<product order ="4">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>
now if the use want to add the anotherelemtn like
<product order ="3">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>
it should go into proper sequence.
How to do this
expected will be
<product order ="2">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>
<product order ="3">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>
<product order ="4">
<name/>
<price/>
</product>

Use the element's append() method if you want to add a child element as the last child, otherwise use its insertBefore() method.

(Mobile Infrastructur)Failed to get hierarchy group elements fromMiddleware

When iam configuring the Mobile Infrastructure and clicked on Hierarchy Grouping i got the following error.
Error:Failed to get hierarchy group elements from middleware. Reason: Could not connect to middleware
Could anyone tell meaning the above statement and why it is occuring.
Secondly when iam trying to start the MI Webconsole from the below URL, I was getting Page Cannot be Displayed Error.
https://server:50300/me/WebConsole/login. Can anyone tell why this error is coming.

Dear Sankar,
SAP wants you to use the NWA Mobile Administrator and not the old WebConsole. As for the error, I think it should be solved by now, considering you solved other NWA issues by either using solutions of redeploying sapjra, re-running of NWA templates under Deploy and Change or by returning back to your original NWA connected ABAP client (as is evident from your other thread).
