TOC Navigation Options

Is it possible to have the navigation in a project locked down until you complete each section?
I'm using the TOC to split the content into 5 sections. The first section contains a knowledge section. The remaining sections are branching scenarios. I would like to lock the navigation to make sure people follow the logic of the branching scenarios, but I would also like them to be able to refer back to the knowledge section using the TOC and review the completed scenarios once they've been through the module.
I've tried different combinations of checking und unchecking the 'self paced learning' and 'enable navigation' options in the TOC settings menu, but no joy. Is there another way (that isn't too complex!).
Thanks
Sam

This is likely to be a bit complex if you are trying to do all of this from within one huge course module.
Are you going to be delivering this course via an LMS? If so, the best way to arrange what you are talking about is to control the sequencing rules in the LMS, not the course.
If you can't control the sequencing via an LMS, you could perhaps do it in a single module via Advanced Actions and variables but it would be complex to set up.
Another issue to consider: If you jump the user out of the middle of a branching scenario back to a knowledge section and they browse around there for a while picking up more info, how do you ensure they get back to the same spot in the branching scenario when they're ready?

TOC navigation controls - random behavior

My landscape-only book is structured in iBooks Author as a Preface followed by a sequence of Sections. The result works fine, including the TOC, which consists of nothing but a horizontal scrolling set of thumbnail page images.
However, after I use the book for a while, a pair of TOC navigation buttons will randomly appear at the bottom of the display, and once they appear they won't go away unless I return to the iBooks library and then re-open the book.
These buttons (when they appear) exhibit broken behavior: clicking on the leftmost button displays an all-black phantom page on the display, with the black page existing at the equivalent of page number -1 in the book.
Any ideas on why the nav buttons are spontaneously appearing? I haven't been able to pinpoint any specific user action which triggers their appearance. The goal is to suppress their appearance altogether.
Thanks!

Is it possible to laod navigation options after querry is displayed

Hi
I have a question concerning the display of a query. Us ut possible to display a query and load the navigation options after the query has been displayed (in other words in the background)?
[I am talking about the query property on how to load a query with option A, H and X]
If yes, does it provide a relevant performance benefit in the case of using large hierarchies?
Thx,
Nana

There is, but the preferred way to do something like this is through
the action reference expression which is attached to a UCommand
component. So you could do something like the following:
1. set up a class which extends javax.faces.Action:
import javax.faces.Action;
public class RegisterAction extends Action {
public String invoke() {
return checkUserName();
Set up an accessor method (javabean convention) in your business
object bean that returns the Action instance:
public class Register {
public Action getRegisterAction() {
return registerAction;
2. set up a mapping for the Navigation Handler (assume user.jsp
is the page where the user enters data, and welcome.jsp is
the page that gets displayed on successful outcome). Set this up
in your faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-tree-id>/user.jsp</from-tree-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-tree-id>/welcome.jsp</to-tree-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>failure</from-outcome>
<to-tree-id>/user.jsp</to-tree-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Make sure that the checkUserName() method above, returns a string
that matches the "from-outcome" element in your navigation mapping
(in this case - "success" or "failure").
3. attach the actionRef expression to your button component as follows
in your jsp. Something like:
<h:command_button commandName="register" actionRef="Register.registerAction"/>
Hope this helps, Roger.

Show transaction in portal without navigation option

Hello,
I've created a z transaction in R/3. I need to show it in portal with some buttons (not all) and without navigation option to other transactions. I have a problem because I don't understand properly what type of iView do I have to create: Transaction iView or IAC iView. I've created both of them, for IAC I've created a service in SICF.
Please, what type of iView do I have to use for that purpose?
Which ones are the parameters that I need to use and the values?
Thank you in advance.

Hi ,
Check the below forum link , which will help you to hide the menu for transcation iview.

TOC Navigation Setup Help

I've been looking through the forums and haven't quite found an answer to my question yet, but hopefully someone will be able to help me. What I am trying to do is create a TOC Navigation that disables all other navigation buttons until the button before it has been completed before it. Hopefully this makes sense :\ I would like to make the user go through the whole course in the order it was ment to be done instead of being able to jump ahead in the navigation. Once they have completed one section of the course the next section would become available to select and move on through the course...etc! I am using Captivate 6 any ideas or help would be appreciated. Even if you can point me in the right direction where to look to find the answer I don't have a problem doing the reading and learning.

Hi there
I think the only way you could really accomplish this would be to create a single variable for each slide in the presentation. Then have an advanced action that checks and sets the variable upon entry and exit. Upon entering a slide, check the variable of the last slide to see if it has been visited. If not, disallow play of the slide until the previous slide variable has been set.
Hopefully someone has a more clever or efficient way to accomplish this.
Cheers... Rick

TOC navigation problems

Hi everyone, I can't seem to find an answer to this question.
I currently have a project where TOC navigation is allowed to visited slides only. However, I want all slides to become available on module completion. The current set up allows users skip bits in the content, so these slides are not visited, meaning they never become available with the settings as they are.
I can use the Lock TOC and Unlock TOC to switch all navigation off and on, but this doesn't work while the navigate visited slides only is switched on. I want to keep it as it is allowing navigation to visited slides only, then on the last section allow all sections to be available using the TOC, regardless of whether they have previously been visited or not.
I have a feeling this may be impossible, please let me know.
Thanks

To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago. The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile.
There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles. You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login. It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

TOC navigation in C5

All,
I have tried to create a TOC with 2 groups of slides (eventually, there may be upt to 10 groups). Navigation is enabled in TOC settings. When the file is published and played back in the web browser (IE8), I cannot move from one group of slides to the other using the TOC navigation. The files just play from beginning to end. I can go back once a slide has played, but not forward. I would like for the user to be able to select which group of slides they view.
Thank you in advance.

If the Skin you're using has been customised at all, have you tried changing the TOC to a different Skin in the Skin Editor, perhaps one of the standard skins that comes with Captivate?
I have sometimes experienced issues with TOCs behaving badly because of corruption in the underlying Skin, usually one that I've been playing around with. When I change the Skin, publish, and then change back again, it has sometimes resolved the issue. This has been the case with several projects upgraded from Cp4 to Cp5. It seems that in the upgrade process the connection between the project and the skin was compromised.
Also, don't forget that if your Quiz Settings have Backward Movement disabled, you won't be able to use the TOC to move backward in the movie. Forward should still work however.
Hope this helps.

A self running lesson and a chapter navigation option in the same file

My client has asked if their lesson can have a branching option at the very beginning that allows the learner to watch the entire lesson without having to click a next button or experience pauses between chapters or modules and a second option to select a TOC type screen where they can choose the specific chapter they wish to watch and then when the chapter is finished, the learner can choose to continue to the next chapter or back to the TOC screen.
I understand that I can create that branching scenario, but in my version, I would be replicating the entire lesson (about 140 slides) to create the two paths, one path with the pause/navigation for the chapters and one without.
Is there a better way to accomplish this style of navigation and keep the file as small as possible? My Java skills are at a beginner level, so please include specifics if the solution will use Java.
Thanks for your help and ideas.

You can achieve this using variables and Conditional Advanced Actions in Captivate. But it would not be a job for a Captivate beginner.
You need to use the branching slide to set the value of a variable that indicates the user's choice of whether to watch all content or use the menu slide. Then you need to use Conditional Advanced Actions triggered by ON SLIDE ENTER events to skip certain slides and play others. You'll also need to set up the Menu slide and again use variables and Conditional Advanced Actions to return users to it after completing sections.
If you are unfamiliar with these concepts, I recommend you watch the tutorials on this site: http://lilybiri.posterous.com/
Like I said, it's not a task for a beginner.

How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed? We have the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users. We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched. In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.

Problems:
•     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
•     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
•     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
•     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
•     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

TOC NAVIGATION?

Hi,
A little challenged on using the TOC for navigation.
I have a 46 slide +/- project.
I have 5 slide groups labeled in the TOC - chapters of information - I want the user to freely naviagte at anytime.
No quiz or questions - just an introduction slide that instructs them to select a topic ( group) from the TOC to see the information
I want them to freely move around using the TOC
I am HP PC based using CP 5.5 for this and all my projects
Here are my current TOC settings - but navigation in preview or publish does not work.
clicking a TOC topic takes you nowhere - the projects just plays from 1st slide to the last slide.
thanks for any ideas or response - Bill

How did you try to navigate? I'm asking this because you can only navigate to slides, not to a slide group. Did you click on the first slide of a group?

Outlook 2013 will not save Compact Navigation Option setting

We have started upgrading some of the machines in our office from Office 2010 to 2013, (win7 and win 8 machines). I have found that Outlook will not save the selection of "compact navigation" in the "Folder Pane/Options" settings. I
have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall of office 2013, resetting cleanviews, profile, etc. I cannot get it to save this setting. It always goes back to the extra large "Mail, Calendar, People, tasks" navigation. Any ideas? This is happening on
muiltiple machines that we have upgraded from Office 2010.

Copying answer from similarly asked question:
FOR THE FIRST STRING (To keep a compact navigation pane):
Press the START button and type in "regedit"
On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options]
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>KEY and name it WunderBar. Make sure you have the new key selected.
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact. Make sure you select it.
Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 00000001
FOR THE SECOND STRING (To modify the order of the navigation items):
With regedit still open.
On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences]
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>String Value and name it ModuleOrderAB. Make sure you select it.
Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Adjusting the order of the numbers will adjust the order they appear in. For instance in my case I wanted NOTES to show up fourth so my string is 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9.

Toc navigation panel has chaptertitles listed 2x

I've really been working on this for hours and days using all resources available.
I know that this is an easy fix but I just cannot get it.
Issue: TOC generation
When I open up the indesign book in adobe digital editions
the first page is a visual of my TOC (like in the print version) and each chapter is highlighted.
- if i scroll the chapters are all visible
PROBLEM
yesterday - i was fine - finally - or so i thought.
today - i have added 2 more documents to this same book; used the same anchor and hyperlink method
but now the navigation panel looks like this.
RESULT
In the resulting navigation panel in adobe digital reader I now have these listed 2x.
-preface    clicking here does nothing
-diagram   clicking here does nothing
-chap1       this works
-chap 2      this works
-chap 3      this works
-chap 4      this works
etc.            this works
-preface     this works
-diagram    this works
Do you know why I am getting the listing 2x and why the first copies of each do nothing ?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

note.
book written in word on a mac and converted to pdf for upload to
lightningsource, createspace, kindle - initially; just getting to epub this
past week and a half.
- used my 'word' document - split it up so each chapter, part is it's own
doc.
- placed them all in indesign and saved as .indd
- the 'only' formatting i used is in indesign.
- i set the chapter (title of page such as 'dedication') to paragraph style
1 and left justified things.
- this is the only thing that i added when i created the toc.
Question: is this going to a problem when the ebook is downloaded to
devices other than adobe digital reader: such as ipad, sony reader, kindle
- maybe i might be best off setting styles to all of the text in the
indesign docs but i really am not sure where to begin and that basic
documentation or tutorial is really eluding me. colin flemming and gabriel
powell's tutorials helped but were not clear about the toc - which YOU were.

Navigation option on blank values

the requirement is I have a report with total count column....when i click on the count a detailed report with all the employee names will open
and this count values can have a blank values too
so i gave navigation on the headcount column
so that when i click on value 500 a detailed employee report will open with 500 employee names
the problem is when i mouse over on a blank value its still showing the click option and when i click on that its navigating to a no records page
my req is they dont want to see click option when i mouse over on blank values
thanks in advance

When a navigation link is enabled thats how it will behave even on blank rows. There is no way to restrict it based on the records it display. One work that you can do is Display 0's for null values using IF NULL condition.
IF NULL(column, 0). Now enable No results view and you can type in a text saying that " The report does not have any records for this request" or some thing. In that way Users will understand it better.
Just a suggestion.
Hope it helps
Thanks

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
