Table of contents (TOC) in Adobe Captivate Classic

You can generate a table of contents (TOC) automatically for your Adobe Captivate Classic project. The hierarchy of slides in the project is preserved in the TOC. Grouped slides are displayed as subentries under the group name. The name of the slides and the group are automatically added as in the project.

You can specify the position of the TOC with respect to the main slide during editing. At run time, clicking the various headings in the TOC displays the corresponding slides in the main panel.

You can configure the appearance of the TOC using the various available options. You can then save the TOC as a theme along with the other skin items like playback controls and borders.

The TOC entry corresponding to the slide displayed is highlighted in the TOC panel as the movie runs through the slides.

A check mark in the Status panel indicates the slides that the user has completed viewing. You can choose to configure the project for self-paced learners so that they can start viewing slides from where they left off earlier.

Modifying the settings of a table of contents (TOC)

You can customize the following for the TOC:

  • Appearance of the TOC.

  • Position of the table of contents with relation to the main panel playing the movie. You can also choose to overlay the TOC on the main panel playing the movie or display the TOC as a separate panel during run time.

  • Display the project information such as the details of the company or the person creating the project in the TOC panel.

  • Display the status of the slides for users during run time. When the Status option is turned on, a check mark appears next to slides that the users have completed viewing.

  • Allow users to start viewing the project from the slide at which they left off previously when they run the project again.

Organize a table of contents (TOC)

Grouped slides are classified according to their hierarchy in the project. The slides of a group appear under the group name in the TOC in the same order.

You can change the hierarchy and classification of the slides in the TOC. The reorganization affects only the TOC and not the order of the slides in the project. You can also choose to hide certain slide entries in the TOC. These entries are not displayed in the TOC when the project is played.

Depending on your preferences, you can reorganize the TOC using one or more of the following procedures:

  • To move a slide to the next sublevel in the hierarchy, click Move TOC Entry Right.

  • To move a slide to a previous level in the hierarchy, click Move TOC Entry Left.

  • To move the slide entries up and down, click Move TOC Entry Up or Move TOC Entry Down.

Organize TOC

Примечание.

You can also move the TOC entries by dragging them to another location.

  • To create a group within the TOC, click Create Folder Rename the topic in the TOC, and organize slides under it. You can create up to five sublevels in the TOC menu.
Примечание.

Grouping slides in the TOC does not group them in the project.

  • To remove a TOC entry, select the entry in the TOC, and click Delete TOC Entry ().
Примечание.

Hiding a TOC entry does not delete the slide from the project.

  • To hide the TOC entry for a slide when the project is played, deselect the option for that slide under the eye icon. The slide is not removed from the project.
  • To discard your changes to the TOC, and display the default entries, click Reset TOC.

    When you reorganize a project after creating the TOC, the changes are not automatically reflected. Reset the TOC to view the changes. Any new slide added after creating the TOC is displayed as a hidden entry after you reset the TOC. Enable the TOC entry by selecting the check box under the eye icon.

Примечание.

If you do not want to preview changes to the skin when you change an option, click Settings, and in the TOC Settings dialog box, deselect the Auto Preview option.

Locking or unlocking a TOC

You can temporarily lock the TOC so it is not clickable during crucial slides and then re-enable the navigation later.

To re-enable the TOC navigability (unlock the TOC) set the cpLockTOC variable to 0. To unlock the TOC on slide exit, show the slide properties and set the On Exit fields as shown below:
