Table of Contents & Navigation

Hi, I note the Table of Contents allows navigation and navigation to completed slides only.  Until my users have passed the assessment at the end of the course I want them to navigate only to those slides which they have read.  The options in the TOC allow me to do this.  Once having completed the course, closed it then reopened it for a review, I want them to be able to navigate to any slide.  Using the default settings above this does not seem to work on the LMS, students can only navigate forward if they have once again visited a slide first, though the status flag remains checked.  Is this possible? If so I would very much appreciate some tips.  I am not a programmer so anything simple would be ideal. 
I am using Windows 7, Captivate 6, 32GB RAM, Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You could try using the system variable cpLockTOC. Allow navigation, but set this variable to 1 for the slide where you want to lock the navigation. Reset to 0 (default) for the other slides. You can use the standard action Assign when entering the slide.

  • Table of Contents navigation question in Captivate 5.5

    Hi - I'm a fairly new user of Captivate (5.5.), and hope that someone can answer this question. I'm trying to set up a table of contents with navigation that will not let users go to slides that they have not yet viewed, but still enable users who have left and re-entered a course go back to any previous slide that they've viewed. Here are some details:
    * I'm publishing the course using the SCORM 2004 setting, and testing it in SCORM Cloud and our LMS (Cornerstone)
    * The table of contents navigation is set only to "Navigate visited slides only."
    * After reading as many of the related posts as I could find on this forum, I've been able to get bookmarking to work - that is, the course will take the user back to where he or she left off. And by using the InfoSemantics TicTOC widget, when a user returns to the course, all previously viewed slides are checked off in the table of contents.
    * However, whatever I've tried, a user who leaves and goes back into a course can only navigate back to the first slide, not to any of the other slides he or she already viewed. I'd like for our users to be able to go back to any previous slide they viewed (for example, to review the section just before the one where they left off, or to review any part of the course for reference after completing it).
    Is there a combination of settings, or a widget somewhere, that will let you both limit forward navigation to visited slides only, while still allowing users to go back to any previously viewed slide after exiting and re-entering a course? And this would need to work in an LMS.
    Thanks for any advice you can give!

    I did have the self-paced learning option checked, so I unchecked it. I did not have "user must past quiz" as required (it's set as optional). I tried adding an interactive button to the first slide and giving it a score. But after re-publishing, I still can only go back to the first slide (not any previously viewed slide) if I stop and re-enter the course. Here are the settings:
    Quiz Reporting:
    Manifest:
    LMS Customization:
    Quiz Settings:
    Quiz Pass/Fail:
    Settings for the interactive object on the first slide:
    Settings for the "quiz" on the last slide:
    Thanks so much for helping me with this.

  • Table of Contents navigation not working

    I am using Captivate 6.  I have a separate TOC, with only 4 items.  'Self paced Learning' and 'Enable Navigation' are both checked. However, when I publish to SWF, or preview, the navigation does not work.
    Due to IT team desktop image restrictions, I can only check this in IE8, using Flash 11.1.102.55.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same exact problem.  I do not have the Navigate Visited Slides only option checked.  I want the user to be able to just skip to a section.  I've noticed it works to an extent, but easliy gets hung up.  So if I click to a section, the project either gets stuck or it continues to play, but audio dissapears.

  • 'Table of Contents' structure: the navigational and the within document

    Hi.
    Here are screenshots of the example of how I would like to structure my Table of Contents for my ebook.
    screenshot1 is the .indd.  It shows the Table of Contents settings and paragraph styles used.
    screenshot2 is the .epub.  It is the result after export.
    In my actual .indd, I have been able to get the structure to look like the .epub screenshot.
    I want to have the nested - pop-down ability to save space.
    This is what is going on.
    In the .epub (ADE), if I click on  'chapter 1' in the Left Frame of the ebook Window,
    it just brings me to the same exact words within the context of the ebook - page 2.
    Page 2 of the ebook has this 'Table of Contents'.
    From there, (In my actual ebook), 'chapter 1' is a HYPERLINK.
    I must click THAT HYPERLINK to actually get to the desired location in the ebook.
    This means that I have to click 2x to get to the location.
    I am NOT totally clear about this.
    Does anyone feel that they have a great way to describe this.
    Objective 1:  click on 'chapter 1' from the left frame in the ebook and get to the desired location.
    Objective 2:  click on 'chapter 1' from within the content of the ebook and get to the desired location.
    That means, (from what I have read and watched) I am using a
    1. Navigational Table of Contents in the left frame.
    2. Standard Table of Contents from within the actual content of the ebook.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I would need more details from you. Which version of InDesign are you using? Have you tried opening the same EPUB in any other reader like Readium or iBooks? If yes, is the behavior same in these readers or different?
    Since I am not able to reproduce this issue at my end, test files (InDesign documents as well as the EPUB) would be helpful. Would it be possible for you to share them with us? You can upload the files to drop box and share the link with me. (email: [email protected])

  • Slides in a Captivate 7 Table of Contents is not Navigable

    This project is navigable from the table of contents until the final two slides.  You cannot click on the last two slides (Slides 45 and 46) to view while in the course.
    - I have hidden the Quiz Review Slide (Slide 47) because we do not want the results displayed.  This does not seem to be the issue. When I unhide the slide, I am still unable to click our last two slides "Practice Session" and "Exposure Control Plan." 
    - I have selected and unselected "Self-Paced Learning" in the TOC Settings
    - I have deleted the content slides and created new slides
    Please advise on the next step and thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi all
    One thing that will prevent the TOC from behaving properly is if you have question slides sprinkled through the project here and there. If you configured the Quiz settings so that every slide MUST be answered, you won't be able to navigate beyond the first unanswered question. Sometimes this makes you think the TOC is broken, when in fact, it's simply respecting the setting and not allowing the user to navigate beyond the unanswered question.

  • Navigating Table of Contents with Module Reviews and Knowledge Checks

    I have been using 5.5 for at least 3 months without issue.  
    My current course is being published SCORM 1.2 to SumTotal LMS, but that is not relevant at this time.
    I have 3 modules in the course (3 module reviews and sets of knowledge check questions).
    Each set of knowledge check questions are 3 random questions from respective quiz pools.
    The final quiz is the only one with weighted values that report to the LMS.
    Problem...
    When you click past the Module Review (use Module Review 2) and take the knowledge check questions, and then click that Module Review 2 page via the Table of Contents, the Next and Back buttons do not work and everything freezes.
    This even happens when in preview mode in Captivate, and I don't even have to post to LMS.
    Help, please!

    I have a specific style set up (similary to body text) to dress the table of contents at 11pt. Overset text was my thought too! but its actually just an empty paragraph with a title. I've attached an image to help explain.

  • Acrobat X, Word 2011, and Links in Table of Contents

    I have a 300+ page document in Word 2011, with a Table of Contents that has been automatically generated by Word, based off headings.
    When I "print" the document using "Save as Adobe PDF" from the Print dialouge, the PDF comes up, but the links in the ToC no longer work.
    I've looked online for a solution, but I am noticing two things:
    1) The option to turn the ToC links into Hyperlinks is not present on the Mac version of Word (2011).
    2) I opened the file in Word 2010 on a PC, and enabled the above feature, and then brought it back to my Mac and Word 2011 - the links now seem active in Word.  However, when I convert it to PDF, the links still do not work in the PDF.
    Is there an automated way to make the links convert, or to add them to the PDF?  With 300+ pages, a Table of Contents with working links is almost essential for navigation.
    Thank you!

    That's a defect (bug) in Adobe(Mac) that has been going on for 15 years and Adobe refuse to admit it and fix it. In Reference to Links.
    The only work around is to use iWork's Pages.
    The links should be active. Then Create the PDF from there The links should be live.
    I've heard you can do the same thing with Preview, But haven't tried. I know Pages will.
    Its no wonder that Apple won't allow Flash on the iPad. Besides not fixing Flash issues on the Mac paltform, They have a history of refusing to fix problems with Acrobat on The Mac Platform.

  • Change the table of contents in Adobe Presenter 9

    It appears that Presenter automatically creates the tables of contents for a Powerpoint presentation based on the slide title. Is there a way to modify the name that appears with a TOC navigation without changing the slide title?
    I would also like to know if it's possible to structure the TOC so that there are main topics and sub topics. For example, in Captivate, you can modify the TOC by clicking on the arrows in the menu to push categories under one another, like an outline:
    Main Topic
         Subtopic Slide 1
         Subtopic Slide 2
    Main Topic 2
         Subtopic Slide 1 
         Subtopic Slide 2

    Presenter doesn't have the same functionality for the TOC as Captivate. There is some wizardry that can be done if you want to adjust the look of the slide list.
    Work around was discussed in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1970468#1970468

  • Can I create a Table of Contents (CS6) in a separate document of book file?

    I'm helping someone create an ebook. He has three separate sections of his book so there are three files that make up the Indesign book. I currently have a table of contents at the beginning of each of the three sections and when I pdf the book, it works great. But when I export it as a Kindle ebok, only the TOC for the very first section works. I don't know how to fix it so that I can have multiple TOCs so if anyone knows, I would welcome advice on that! Otherwise I was thinking of just having one TOC in a separate file so my book would be made of a TOC and then the three sections of the book. But when I create a new document and try to add a TOC, it won't do it because the doc is blank. I'm sure there must be a way to have a separate document for a TOC that is actually functional when the book is exported.
    I hope this makes sense!

    Hi,
    If you need TOC for each file in itself then while creating TOC, select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' and it will make TOC as hyperlinks in exported epub.
    If you need TOC in a separate document, then add a new document to book and while creating TOC in this document select 'Include Book Documents' and it will bring styles from all documents in the book in this document and then you can create a TOC for all the document. Also select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' so that it will work as hyperlink in exported epub.
    And if you do not even want to place TOC in your document and need it in exported epub then create a TOC style in source document of book which is a TOC for all documents in book. When exporting to EPUB, select 'TOC Style' in Navigation drop down and then select your created TOC style in next drop down.
    Thanks

  • Pages 5.5 table of contents not showing after formatting to ePub

    Im currently trying to format my pages version 5.5 document to ePub. My goal is to use the created document in iBooks. I have downloaded the ePub best practices template from the relevant apple help pages and followed the guidelines. However when opening the document as an ePub file via iBooks the table of contents is non existent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    All the documentation I have read for created EPUB are to export XHTML, rather than DTBook. I'm not sure if it follows the same rules as EPUB for XHTML.
    Assuming it does, you need to do two things: (1) Create a TOC Style (not just a Table of Contents) in the Layout menu. (2) When in the Export EPUB dialog > Contents panel, specify the TOC Style you created.
    In an "normal" EPUB 2.01, that would do two things: It would create a navigational TOC shown in every EPUB reader, and it would leave the TOC you placed on your page as an internal TOC.

  • How do I place a remote url in the table of contents?

    Hi,
    We were recently customizing icons for our WebHelp output, and in doing so discovered the option to customize an icon for Remote URL. It can be found by navigating to the Skin Editor:
    WebHelp Skin Editor/Navigation/Remote URL
    Changing the icon was easy. But I can't figure out how you place such a remote URL so that it appears in the book hierarchy and table of contents? I tried placing it in the HTML Files in the Project Manager pod, but don't see any option to accomplish it that way.
    Coudl anyone please share how this is accomplished?
    Thanks in advance,
    Douglas

    If you open the TOC pod, there should be a button for adding a new TOC page. In the dialog box that displays, you should be able to set a URL rather than a project topic.
    HTH,

  • Table of Contents Web Part

    We have a website that builds a sitemap using the OOTB Table of Contents web part to build a Site Map. The site consists of several subsites and the site map is close but under one particular subsite though the site map shows duplicate links. As
    an example if you look in the page library you see page1.aspx, page2.aspx, page3.aspx and page4.aspx but on the sitemap page it displays:
    SubsiteName
    page1
    page2
    page3
    page4
    page2
    page1
    page3
    Page4
    The repitition isn't in any order either which i have tried to display in my example. Anyone else witnessed this? We have 5 different environments and all are affected in the same way.
    Thanks in advance

    hi
    good that you found workaround, but I would anyway add few words here which may help to troubleshoot original problem: in this case it is worth to check navigation settings of the problematic site. There may be some headings and links added manually, which
    cause this behavior.

  • Table of Contents Deactivated in HTML Formatted Emails - How to Fix?

    Problem Details: I produce a newsletter with an embedded table of contents.  In iOS7, users were able navigate via the table of contents and traverse to the corresponding articles.  This functionality has been lost upon the installation of iOS8.  My newsletter is embedded into the body of an email message.  The navigational hyperlinks that comprise the Table of Contents no longer function after upgrading from iOS 7 to iOS 8.  The issue still persists with updates to iOS8 updates since its release.  Hyperlinks continue to work, but not the navigational links in the Table of Contents (that navigate down to the respective content in the body of the email message).
    Note: Apple Support has been able to recreate this problem.  This problem did not exist with iOS7.  First started with the installation of iOS8.  I have delayed the upgrade to iOS8 on one of my remaining devices and I don't have this problem with my iOS7 device.  Despite being able to recreate this problem, the solution seems hopeless.  I have tried to get the attention of Apple many times to no avail.  My newsletter is ready by thousands of people each day.  This is a problem - Apple where are you??
    Note: This functionality continues to work in devices that still have iOS 7 installed, web browsers, android devices, blackberry devices, etc.  The issue is isolated solely to devices with iOS 8 installed.

    Hi Tom,
    I use MSWord to create the newsletter.  I then save it as a "Web Page" (html format) and place it into an Outlook email message.  The table of contents functionality works in Outlook, web browsers, Android devices, blackberries, iOS7 devices.  However, not with iOS8.
    I had a great talk yesterday with Apple support.  They again were able to see the problem on their end.  They have elevated the ticket to an engineer.  Hopefully they will figure it out.  It is kind of where I was 2 months ago on this issue with Apple (9/24/14), but somehow I have the feeling that the problem is in the right hands this time.  I will keep the board posted.  In the meantime, any ideas are welcome .
    Thank you.

  • IBooks Author table of contents does recognize paragraph styles

    The video
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2p08-NmqfQ
    shows that using iBooks Author  I should be able to have text that is formatted with specific Paragraph Styles show automatically in the Table of Contents. But for me that does not work.  My version of ibooksAuthor is version 2.1.1 ( the latest) , under OS 10.9.1 (the latest) on an iMac.
    The video shows the Inspector for TOC as a separate window and shows explicitly, under Sections, the items Copyright, Dedication, Foreword, Section and Section Text. It also has two Paragraph styles listed, Heading 1 and Heading 2. 
    This set of TOC entries is  available for me with templates from Landscape with Portrait but NOT with templates of Portrait. The templates available for Portrait do not  list, in the TOC Inspector, Heading 1 or Heading 2.
    Furthermore, the Portrait templates do NOT allow me to add any Paragraph style to the list (the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out), although the Landscape templates DO allow me to add any Paragraph style.
    However, when, with a Landscape template (e.g. Basic) I format text as one of the paragraph styles Header 1, Header 2, Chapter, Section, it does NOT automatically show up in the TOC, though if I add a new section it does automatically show up. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
    When I use a Portrait template  (e.g. Basic or any other) and format text as one of the Paragraph Styles Chapter or Section that  text does not show up in the TOC. And the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out: I cannot add Header 1 or Header 2. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
    No matter what template I use, if I assign a paragraph style to some text, it does not show up in the TOC. And with Portrait templates, which is what I want to use,  I cannot adde any paragraph styles to the TOC Inspector in Portrait templates.

    The iBA Help has info on: table of contents
    Which includes:
    Each book comes with a table of contents that is updated automatically. You can view the table of contents at any time by selecting Table of Contents in the sidebar. The table of contents includes a default set of items, but you can change which items appear. A table of contents can include:
    Chapter and section titles: All chapter and section titles are included in the table of contents by default. If you remove a section from the table of contents, all other sections that use the same layout are removed as well.
    Text that uses specified paragraph styles: By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like. Paragraph styles appear in the table of contents only in portrait orientation. See Format text using styles.
    The way the table of contents looks depends on the current page orientation. In landscape orientation (shown below), each chapter has its own contents page, with navigation buttons at the bottom. In portrait orientation, the entire book’s table of contents is visible as an expandable list.
    Add or remove items in the table of contents
    If the Document inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Document Inspector button.
    Click the TOC button.
    Do either or both of the following:
    To add an item: Click the Add pop-up menu , choose Add Paragraph Style, and choose an option from the submenu.
    To remove an item: Select the item you want to remove and click the Delete button .

  • Why is my book rejected because of the table of contents?

    Why is my book rejected because of the table of contents?
    I have submitted a chidlren's book, so there are not multiple chapters.  There is only one "chapter" which is teh entire 40-page book.
    IBook Author automatically creates a table of contents, which just has one chapter.
    When I click on the chapter, it does not go to the next page.  So once someone downloads the book from ibook, they are stuck on the table of contents page.
    That seems to be a big reason for why it is getting rejected, although the actual text is cryptic:
    6.1.4. Incomplete/Inaccurate Functional Table of Contents
    The EPUB's spine in the NCX is used to create the table of contents in iBooks and provides a direct navigational link to the appropriate sections of the book. Since it is a key element to the customer's interaction with a book, all EPUB spines must contain a complete listing of all chapters or book sections.

    If you know what makes it not work....fix it.
    The text is simply picked out from the nearest applicable cause.
