Overlay

The overlay is a module that allows you to provide information to users in a training scene.

Basics

With this module you have the possibility to provide the user with explanations, instructions for action or similar. The overlay is the basic form of the Intro Overlay and Outro Overlay modules, each of which still has special options for the beginning / end of a scene.

In the side panel you can add content to be displayed. With the pulldown you determine what kind of content should be displayed:

add-overlay-menu-item

  • Image: Links an image asset, which is then displayed in the overlay.
  • Text: Displays the text you enter in the text box.
  • Video: Links a video asset, which is then displayed in the overlay.
     

You can add multiple contents. These are then displayed page by page in the training and the overlay only closes when all content has been seen.

Clicking Okay closes the overlay and triggers When Deactivated.

Clicking Repeat repeats the intro (only displayed if there is more than one content).
