Review Content Slide Templates

This topic includes descriptions of the templates available when you create a content slide.

Each type of slide provides standard templates you can use to make it easier for you to place text and images on slides.

Note: Be careful when you select the template for your new slide. Make sure you select the one that best meets your needs. Once you select a template for a new slide, you cannot change it. If you need to change the template of a slide, you will have to create a new slide, select the appropriate template, and rebuild the slide.


Option Description

Text: Any text you type displays only on the left side of the canvas. You cannot add text that displays across the whole canvas when using this template.

4-Section Title Card Template

Text: Any text you type displays across the whole canvas. You can include only one line of text above and only one line of text below the image on this slide. If you type additional lines of text, trainees will not see them!

Images:

  • Size: 704 pixels (width) x 150 pixels (height) is the size of the images you can add in this template.

Note: If the images you need to use are larger than the sizes listed above, you have three options. The options are listed below.

  • You can resize them to the appropriate size (450x396, 704x396, or 704x150) before uploading them into the CCS. When you upload and add these images to the slide, the image will take up the full image section on the slide. Trainees will be able to see the entire image.
  • You can upload the original image file into the CCS. When you add it to an image container on the slide, rescale it by selecting the Scale image to fit container check box. As a result, the CCS automatically resizes the image.

    Note: If ratio of the original image is different than the ratio of the image section on the slide, then there will be white space at the top/bottom or left/right sides of the image section on the slide. Trainees will be able to see the entire image in this case.

  • You can also upload the original image file into the CCS and choose not to rescale it using the Scale image to fit container check box. In this case, the image will be clipped by default so that trainees see only a percentage of the original image file (the percentage that fits the default size of the image section). In this case, trainees will not see the entire image.
