Display Multiple Item Windows

You can split the presentation window into multiple item windows to simultaneously present up to 4 different items at a time. The setting that determines this number is called the View Mode.

 

View Modes

You can set the View Mode to:

•Full Screen
•Side By Side
•3 Across
•4 Quadrants.

 

Where can the View Mode be set?

You can change the View Mode either from the main program window (HOME > Presentations > View Mode button group, which is active only when a presentation is showing. Or you can change the View Mode from within the presentation window itself.

 

PresentationAreaViewModeGroup

View Mode can be set in HOME > Presentations > View Mode button group.

 

 

PresentationWindowViewModeHighlighted

View Mode can also be set in the Presentation Window

 

The View Mode determines the behavior of the presentation window in these ways:

•View Mode sets the upward limit to the number of item windows that can open. This term, upward limit is used here because the presentation screen always opens in Full Screen. If a different View Mode (Side By Side, 3 Across, or 4 Quadrant) is selected, the presentation window only divides into Side By Side, 3 Across, etc., each time you click the next item button. However, you can override this behavior by unlocking the Display Mode, which is discussed later in this topic.
•As more item windows open, View Mode locks the action of the next and previous item buttons onto the most-recently opened item window. For example, if you set the View Mode to 3 Across, once the third item window is opened, the next and previous item buttons only act upon the third item window.

It is possible to override this behavior and move between items in a different item window by unlocking the Display Mode. This is discussed next in this topic.

 

Overriding the View Mode by unlocking the Display Mode

When the View Mode is set to Side By Side, 3 Across, or 4 Quadrants, you can temporarily suspend new item windows from opening before you have reached the maximum allowed for that View Mode setting. You can also page through items in whichever item window is open, not just the most recently opened item window.

The setting you use to make these changes during your presentation is called the Display Mode.

 

How the Display Mode works

The Display Mode can be set to locked or unlocked. By default, it is set to locked. Unlocking the Display Mode has the immediate effect of preventing new item windows from opening. Unlocking the Display Mode also allows you to change the focus of the next and previous item buttons, so that clicking these buttons will effect whichever item window you select.

 

Where can the Display Mode be set?

Like the View Mode, you can control the Display Mode either from the main program window (HOME > Presentations > Display Mode button group) or from within the presentation window itself.
