Table of Content Options

The table below describes the options available for configuring the table of contents in a course.

Option Description

Use Table of Contents check box

Select this check box to show the table of contents to trainees. In this case, trainees can do the items below, depending on how you configure the other options on this screen.

  • They can access the table of contents at any time by clicking the Table of Contents button on the screen.
  • They can easily see where they are in their training because the current slide is highlighted in red font.
  • They can review slides they’ve already gone through or upcoming slides.
  • They can choose their own path in a course. For example, they can choose to view chapters 1, 2, and 5 now and come back later to watch chapters 3 and 4.

You can create a table of contents to help you keep track of and group all the slides in a presentation without showing it to trainees if you don't want them to see it. Do not select this check box in this case.

Allow Jumping To Sections/Slides fields

These fields are enabled only if you selected the Use Table of Contents check box.

Select the appropriate option to determine if trainees can navigate through the TOC. The options are listed below.

  • No. You can prevent trainees from navigating through the TOC.

  • All. You can allow trainees to go to any section headers and other slides in the presentation.
