Question

Clearing Table of Content status flags on file launch??

I have a trainin course with the Table of Contents feature (Captivate 4), which displays what screens the user has viewed by displaying green status flags. Our customer may have a workstation set up as a “training station”. It appears as though the status flags in the TOC is cumulative. In other words, of one student comes in, completes the training, and then another student comes in behind him to use the training, all the status flags from the previous training session are still visible. So, my question is…Is there any way to control the status flags without each user having to manually clear them using the clear button? Possibly with a variable of some sort? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi there

    Have you tried clicking Project > Table of Contents > Settings... and ensuring the Status Flag option is cleared?

    Cheers... Rick

    Rick,

    If I uncheck (clear) the status flag box in the settings, then it just gets rid of it totally. I still want to show the status, but I want them to clear if the file is started, close, and then restarted.

    Just now I do not see another solution than asking the user to start by clicking the Clear button on the TOC. And we could insist on having some more variables linked with the TOC to be able to have a solution for several wishes about this TOC: clearing the status flags, be able to collapse groups, a variable to control language (in titles when localizing)  etc. I think there are certainly more feature requests from users of this TOC, which by the way I think a great new feature of CP4.
