When you add a Table of Contents to a Captivate project (Project > Table of Contents > Show TOC), the default settings include Show Duration. With this option selected, the duration of each slide in the lesson will be shown to your learners.
The Duration column is perfectly useful if your lesson is a simple demonstration. However, if your lesson is an interactive simulation, it doesn't make much sense to show a slide duration since the exact amount of time spent on the interactive slide is up to the learner. I'd suggest replacing the Duration option with something far more useful: a Status Flag.
- Choose Project > Table of Contents.
- In the lower left of the Skin Editor, click the Settings button.
- From the Runtime Options area, deselect Show Duration and then select Status Flag.
- Click the OK button and then preview the project.
As you complete the interactivity on each slide, a green check mark will appear in the Status column.
I added status check marks to my course and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. More specifically, some slides mark as complete, while others don't. How do I correct this?
