Customizing Supporting Screen Snapshots

Customizing Supporting Screen SnapshotsFor each recorded frame/step in the guidance session, the area of the screen snapshot showing the recorded mouse click or keystroke action is surrounded by a red transparent rectangle. By default, this portion of the screen snapshot will be displayed along with the instruction during playback. However, the developer also has the option of dragging and dropping the transparent rectangle onto any other part of the screen snapshot in order to customize the image that will be displayed with the instruction.

Customizing Target Object Icons

Customizing Target Object IconsEach recorded frame/step in the guidance session includes a Target Object icon image, which marks the exact location of the recorded mouse click or text entry action within the screen snapshot. The Target Object icon may be manually resized, and its location on the screen snapshot may be adjusted. In addition, the developer may customize the Target Object icon by selecting from a list of available icon images provided by RapidGuide or importing and using external icon (.ICO) images.

Multi-Level Branching

Each topic or subtopic created in RapidGuide can branch out to multiple guidance sessions each representing different ways to accomplish or complete the task or a portion of the task. Therefore, during playback of a guidance session, the end user may be presented with several different choices representing different paths or "branches" (i.e., alternate methods) that ultimately lead to the completion of the required task. Branching is an extremely powerful feature that allows developers to create flexible guidance sessions that apply to different scenarios and allow users to practice and learn multiple methods of completing the same task.
