Learning Game slide

PowerPoint Slide Title

This is the title of your PowerPoint slide, which is automatically taken from the title used in your slide. To edit this, you must do so in your slide. You cannot edit this field in the Slide Properties Manager.

Display in Navigation as

This is the title of the slide you would like to appear in the Articulate Player navigation. To edit this title, click on the field and type your desired slide title. This field can be different from PowerPoint Slide Title.

Level

The hierarchical or nested level of the slide relative to others, where 1 is the base or default level. To edit the level, click in the field corresponding to a slide and select the desired level for the slide. Available levels will increase by 1 each time you add a new level. For example, when you first assign levels to a presentation or e-learning course, you will only have the option to assign a level of 1 or 2 (your first slide must be level 1). Once you've assigned a level of 2 to any slide, then you can assign subsequent slides to level 3, and so on. You can add as many slide levels as you'd like.

Note that this feature is available only in the default Group by Slide number view.

Change View To

Use this field to automatically change the view of your presentation or e-learning course on a per-slide basis. Available options include the following:

• [Blank]: By default, the view will not change from the previous slide. If it's the first slide, it will display the view you've specified in the Player Template Builder for your selected template.  

• Standard: The selected slide will switch to the standard view.

• No sidebar: The selected slide will switch to a view with no sidebar.

• Slide only: The selected slide will switch to the slide only view.

Presenter

This is the presenter you would like associated with the selected slide. To choose from available presenters, click on the field and select from the drop-down menu your desired presenter's name. Presenters can be managed in Library and Options.

Audio Playlist

This is the playlist you would like associated with the selected slide. To choose from available playlists, click on the field and select from the drop-down menu your desired playlist's name. Presenters can be managed in Library and Options.

Move to Next Slide

Use this setting to determine whether this slide should advance automatically to the next slide, or whether the user will need to click to advance. To edit your preference, click on the field and select from the drop-down your preferred method.

Group by

Use the Group by drop-down to select how to sort the Slide Properties Manager. Available options include the following:

• Slide number (default): Lists slides in slide order

• Advance mode: Groups slides according to Move to Next Slide setting

• Playlists: Groups slides according to playlist used

• Presenters: Groups slides according to presenter used

• Type: Groups slides according to type of slide

Hide in Navigation Panel

You can choose to hide any slide in the Articulate Presenter navigation by right-clicking on any slide and selecting the option to Hide in Navigation Panel.

Note that this will only hide the slide from navigation and not from the course or presentation itself. Users will still be able to navigate to the slide unless you've created your own link-based navigation in your slides and have disabled keyboard shortcuts.
