Creating presentation states

 

Saved presentation states are the same as key images except they do not appear on the report. To save a presentation state, do the following:

  1. Select the frame containing the image.

  2. Click the Create Presentation State button, , in the Presentation toolbar. A control window pops up.

  3. Select the presentation state group label or enter a new label.

  4. Choose to save the selected image, all images in the selected frame or all images in all frames.

  5. Check the Send presentation states to the server box to upload the presentation state to the server for permanent storage.

  6. Click OK. A representation of the presentation states appear in the Presentation Group section of the thumbnail panel.

The settings defined in the control window are saved as the default settings for the next presentation state created.

 

To create a presentation using the default presentation state settings without displaying the control window, select the image frame then double-click the Create Presentation State button.

 

To automatically create a presentation state when annotating an image, set the Generate Presentation State setting on the Presentation State tab in the Customize Settings panel, and select the annotation tools. The presentation state is created automatically when the user adds a selected annotation to an image. By default, this feature is disabled.

 

Saving presentation states can be done automatically when created, as described above, or manually.
