- The Player has a Share feature, which provides you with a URL. You can send this URL to others, who will then be able to launch the content.
- The Share feature is available when the Player is launched:
- as part of Usage Tracking mode within the Knowledge Center
- in any modeless launch
- using the Launch Player link in the Knowledge Center
- The Share feature is NOT available when the Player is launched from:
- a Knowledge Path in the Knowledge Center
- an LMS
- a mode-specific launch
- play.exe (from a local file system instead of a server)
- The Share feature is available from two locations:
- In the main Player window, the Share link appears above the Concept pane.
- While playing a topic, a Share option is available on the Actions menu.
- Share Content from the Player Window
- When available, the Share link appears above the Concept pane. If you share a topic, the user who receives the link will be able to select the appropriate play mode. If you share a section, the concept displays. If you share a question or assessment, the question or assessment displays.
- The Share dialog box opened through the Share link in the Player window has a View Outline option. When this option is not selected (default), the link is directly to the
- topic (or other outline item such as a module or question) in the Player. The recipient of the link can click the View outline link to show the item in its location in the outline.
- When the View Outline option on the Share dialog box is selected, the link launches the Player with the item selected in the outline.
- Roles that have been set on an outline item are not applicable. In other words, if you are viewing an outline item within a role, you can send it to someone who is not assigned that role and they will be able to view it.
