Stopping a slide till user action?

I apologize if this is self-obvious, but is there a graceful solution for stopping slides so users make use of the playbar buttons? Setting slides' action to "No Action" on exit doesn't seem to affect the slides -they still advance.
Thanks!

Hello again
You need to adjust the end point of the Click Box so it ends sooner than the other objects on the slide.
Typically objects fade in and out. If you pause at the same time the objects do, they are faded out. So you adjust the Click box so it ends (and pauses) about a second and a half before the other objects do.

  • Multiple picture-buttons - How to stop the slide

    Hi,
    my problem:
    A slide with a world map, some buttons as target-markers. If you click at one of these dots, a button with some information pops up (its all about visibility). A single click within this button close itself. It is possible to click any target so many time the user want to. It is also possible to open all text-buttons by hitting all the orange dots. Slide audio is 22 seconds long, so is the slide duration. How can i stop the slide up to zthe moment, the user hits the bottom-left navigation button (perpetualButton_AS3)?
    I fear, the solution is quite simple, i just can't figure it out. Any help is very welcome, time is running out ... delivery of a teaser in less than 4 hours and still some video work to do.
    Regards
    Marc
    btw: eLearning Suite 2.5 is running at this computer

    Not sure if this would be what you want but the Event Handler Widget would allow you to either display timed Success captions for a given number of seconds or execute advanced actions to SHOW or HIDE captions when users click the dots.  You can set preferences in the widget to Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action to enable users to click on an object as many times as they want to repeat the action.  Set the Pausing preferences to permanently pause the slide until the user clicks another button to proceed to the next slide.

  • Is it possible to create a variable that tells you which slides the user has visited?

    Hi there.
    I'm working on a project where I want a slide to show a continue button and hide 2 textboxes, but ONLY when the user has already visited 2 other slides. I can only find variables that tell you the slide the user previously visited.
    Is it possible to set up a variable that does this?
    I want to create the following advanced action:
    If the user has visited slides 62 AND 87, show image_536 and hide text_caption_243 and text_caption_242
    I don't want the action to happen if only 1 of the 2 slides have been visited - it has to happen when both have been visited.
    Hope that makes sense.
    I'm using Captivate 7.
    Thanks.

    You will need two variables, it can be booleans. I'll label them v_one and v_two with a default value of 0
    Since I don't know how the slides are formatted, do you use a Next button or are all the slide frames visited? You'll need to have an event on those two slides to trigger an action:
    Assign v_one with 1     on slide 62
    And a similar action on the other slide to toggle v_two (do not use the toggle command, if the user visits a slide twice, it would be toggled back to 0).
    You didn't specify where those text containers have to be (please, label your objects and slides)? But you'll need conditional advanced action triggered by another event somewhere:
       IF v_one is equal to 1   AND
           v_two is equal to 1
      Show text1
      Show text2

    It will not easy to add actions to an OOTB ribbon button, there is a workaround that we can replace it with a custom button.
    Here is a documentation about Replacing a Button on the Server Ribbon:

  • Clear memory of user actions

    Hi
    I am having problems with repeated user actions when labview is in the midst of runnning.  More specifically i have some buttons that say take some processing time when activated and while the computer is processing it if I press on the button again (once or a few times) nothing happens.  However once the processing of the first user action is finished then the second, third and etc... press of the button gets process, even though it had happened a while ago.  I was wondering whether i could prevent this.
    I have noticed that this occurance happens under a couple of cases.  The first is what i explained above while the second i have noticed when I have placed an event structure within a case sturcture.  The lock front panel options is off for the event structure but if the user does the event structure while the case sturcture is not satsified nothing happens ....which is good but then if the case stucture becomes true then the process inside the event structure takes place eventhough the user action did not happen again.  To illustrate this example please take a look at the attached vi.  Try pressing "mouse down" in the string 4 times and then turn the case structure true and you will see the numeric indicator increment 4 times. 
    It seems the user actions are saved in memory until labview is free to carry them out.  What i was wondering is whether i can prevent this.  The first case (paragraph) is more important than the second to me since i have able to avoid the second so far.
    thanks

    I am not completely clear on what you are trying to do but it sounds as though you are performing action inside an event case which takes longer than the time between two events. (My rule of thumb: Do not put anything into an event case which would take longer than tens of milliseconds to execute.) When that occurs I take it as an indication that the action to be performed should be moved to a parallel loop outside the loop containing the event structure.
    If you have events for Start some Action, Cancel the Action, and Stop, the event loop would contain only the three cases. Inside each case would be the Enqueue function. Put into a queue the command created by the user action (Start, Cancel, Stop), perhaps as the value of a typedefed enum, and exit the case to wait for the next event.
    The parallel loop would implement the Actions. It would probably be a state machine with states: Idle, Perform the Action, and Stop as well as any other states needed. It would sit in the idle state until a Dequeue function received a command from the event loop. The Perform the Action state would need to be designed in such a way that the Cancel command would be received and acted upon promptly.
    Look at examples and design patterns for queued state machines and Producer/Consumer pattern.

  • Can I stop the slide audio (text to speech) when a quiz feedback caption with audio appears?

    Hi there, We use text to speech on all our slides, however there is a problem we have been unable to solve.  If we have audio on a quiz slide this continues to play when the feedback caption comes up.  This means that if a learner clicks the answer quickly they hear the slide text and the caption text on top of each other.  How can I stop the slide audio if the feedback caption appears.  We have tried advanced actions to "stop triggered audio" and experimented with invisible text captions that have the audio added but have not solved it so far.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Any help gratefully received, Many thanks Janet
    PS We are using Captivate 8 with the installed Text to Speech voices

    This is currently a common problem with audio in quiz slides of Captivate modules.
    The configuration options for interactive objects on quiz slides to not allow the same level of control for audio playback that you have with normal interactive objects on other slides.  (e.g. being able to stop other audio when something is clicked).
    The Stop Triggered Audio action is often misunderstood.  But as its name clearly indicates, it really only applies to stopping an audio clip that was TRIGGERED by another advanced action.  That doesn't apply to background audio, slide level audio, or object level audio.
    My suggestion is that you go back to your design and work out which of the two audio clips (the slide or the feedback audio) you can do without.  Maybe your learners don't need them quite as much as you think.

  • Help!!! Can captivate stop between slides??

    Hi
    I am creating a demo through capitvate. Is there anyway for
    capitvate to stop between slides and it be up to the presenter to
    continue to the next slide?
    Please help! I am desperate!
    Simona

    Hi Simona and welcome to our community
    If you are wanting this behavior to occur by virtue of
    recording, click Options > Recording Options... and configure
    one of the Assessment modes.
    If you are talking about a project you have already recorded,
    click Insert > Click Box... or Insert > Button... and insert
    a Click Box or Button object on each slide. The default nature of
    these objects is to pause the project until your user interacts.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • How do I create a slide where users can upload a file to server or email a file?

    Could anyone guide me in how I could go about creating a slide where users can either email a file or upload it to my server?
    Any help would be greatly appriciated...
    Steve

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    I am not sure how you can Upload a file, you might need a Javascript.
    You can create a slide and a button of that slide can call the default Email client (MS Outlook, Outlook Express....)
    1) On  you Slide insert a button (Insert -> Standard Object -> Button
    2) Double Click on that button and select "Open URL or file" for On Success (Under Properties Inspector)
    3) Write "mailto:[email protected]" in the URL box (For Example : [email protected])
    4) Publish the result, when you click on the button, it will call the default mail client.
    Screenshot :
    Note : This might not work if you have a Network Security which do not allow calling Mail Client through a Script (Clicking of Button calls the script)
    Thanks,
    Vikram

  • Standard Table to be updated based on User action

    Hi Friends ,
    i have a requirement , its a report and in that based on the user action ( if the user checks a check box that is available in the output screen of the report and saves it)  the value should be updated in a standard table as 'X'. I have appended the field in the standard table and now i need to write a logic at user command to populate the zfield that i have added in the table based on the user's input. Can someone suggest me how to proceed further on this ? Kindly let me know if you have any sample piece of code related to this scenario...
    thanks in advance.

    HI,
    Usually we can udpate the tables using UPDATE statement.
    But SAP will not suggest to use these statements which will hit the table directly. We need to use the standard transactions to create or update the standard tables.
    For eg: you are using a ztable.
    then once your report is ready, then use the user_command form ( for ALV) .
    fetch the records where the user have selected the records ( check box = 'X").
    *&      Form  USER_COMMAND
    FORM user_command USING g_ucomm     TYPE sy-ucomm
    gs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield                                          .
      CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
        IMPORTING
          e_grid = ls_ref1.
      CALL METHOD ls_ref1->check_changed_data .
    this will update the check box values in your internal table.
    now you can use
    loop at itab into wa where check eq 'X'.
    fill your final internal table where you need to update the table.
    endloop.
    loop at newtable.
    update ztable set value = 'X'
    where keyfield = w_keyfield.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    message s000.
    endif.
    endloop.
    endform.

  • Is there a way to find out if there were any user actions in windows?

    I have an application in LV6.1 and i want it to go in an 'idle-state' if there was no user action in windows.
    for example: after 10min. (like a screensaver that activates after a certain time.)

    LabVIEW 6.1 has a new structure for user driven events. The event structure has a timeout case which can be set for 600,000ms (10min). When the event fires the timeout , the code in the frame will execute. This s where you would put the screen saver code. You will need to also create a second event case that will trigger on mouse cliking on the application. This case will do nothing other than reseting the timeout case. This event structure should be placed in a while loop and probably in parallel to your present code. Be sure to read the online LV help and warnings about the event structure. Thirty minutes of reading will save you hours of headache.

  • Setting to Retain User Action Logs in GRC 10.0

    Is there a setting to retain the User Action logs in SAP GRC 10 System for x number of Days. Is it dependent on the ST03N Log settings

    Hi Selva,
    For this you need to schedule the action usage job. Once you schedule this job you can view the logs in Reports and Analytica tab under Security Link->Action Usage by user,role and profile.
    Hope this helps.

  • URL iView - Open in new window - User Action Independent

    Hello Experts,
    What has been configured:
    I have built an I URL iview and set its paramater to open in a new window. I have assigned the iview to a role. I have also assigned a quicklink to the iview
    Name: xyz
    quick link: xyz
    quick link url: https://<domain>/irj/portal/xyz
    What has been tested:
    When I log in to the portal using the test user ID and click (user action) on xyz the destination URL pops up in a new window as expected.
    When I access the iview via the quick link it loads the destination URL in the same portal window (no pop up)
    What do I need:
    We will be using the quick link to get to SAP portal from another legacy portal and I want to hit the target URL as soon as I access the quick link without being taken to the portal page in which the target URL content is rendered. I also do not want to have the user click on the/a link to navigate to the target URL.
    Things as they stand:
    The destination URL is hitting a standalone WD ABAP object which is not hosted in SAP portal content. The SAP portal has to be used because the logon ticket issued by the portal is also used to login to the server hosting the WD ABAP.
    Please let me know if you think this is something that can be achieved.
    Many thanks,
    Prashanth

    Hi,
    2. It is not possible to hide it completely or disable it. Give this a try:
    Create a Static HTML page and create a link in that which will take you to quick link page/iview.
    or you can create a custom application which will call the application underlying the quicklink on click of a link.
    3.  For removing the History, Back and Forwards links in Page Title Bar, follow the below:
    In Portal navigate to Content Administration - Portal Content - Content Provided by SAP - End User Content - Standard Portal Users - Open the Default Framework Page
    With the Framework Page - you will find Page Title Bar iView - Open the iview and go to iView Property
    Show Back/Forward Links and Show History List by default this setting is set to Yes. change teh setting to No and you will not be seeing those in the page title bar.
    NOTE: If you make this change it is applicable to all other pages and iViews. So be cautious before making the change.
    Hope this helps.
    cheers-
    Pramod

  • User action logging

    I'm writing a small model of a GUI, which I'm going to

    able to view the statistics? Note that the tests will be performed
    at the testers own computers.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
