To make your presentation interactive, complete the following steps:
1. Open a presentation project. If you haven’t already created a presentation, see Creating Presentations for details.
2. Add files to your Media Library by clicking the Browse button and selecting a folder that contains the files you want
to include in your presentation.
3. Click a zone you want to make interactive. Note: multi-zone presentations can include both non-interactive and
interactive zones.
4. Make the zone interactive. In the upper-right portion of the screen beside Playlist type, click Interactive.
5. Drag the desired content into the playlist area.
6. Choose a Home Screen. The Home Screen is the first media file in the playlist. It is where the interactive
presentation begins (within a particular zone).
Home Screens usually include one of the following:
• An attract video that loops until the user provides input
• A list of options from which the user can choose the next action (e.g. an Interactive Menu)
By default, the first item you drag into an interactive playlist will become the Home Screen. It is identified by the
Home icon. You can change the Home Screen at any time by double-clicking the desired file in the playlist and
checking the Set as initial state box.
7. Define Interactive Events. Interactive events link files in the playlist and determine what must occur before a file
transitions to another file. In the user interface, files are referred to as “states”, where the current file is the “current
state”, and the file transitioned to is the “next state”. In this guide, creating and linking interactive events between
files will be referred to as “defining events”:
a. In the Event Toolbar, click the interactive event icon that corresponds to the type of event you want to
define. For example, to define what happens when a user presses button 1 on a button board, click .
b. Click (and hold) the file name below the thumbnail image of the current. This media file is what the user sees
before performing the interactive event you are about to define.
Note: The first interactive event must begin with the Home Screen.
c. Drag the hand pointer to the thumbnail image of the media file you want to play next (the next state).
