Create a Slideshow

Use the Slideshow properties window (accessed from within the Slideshow Manager) to create a Slideshow. When you create a Slideshow, you define:

• General properties: Name and description.
• Time to Display Each Dashboard: In hours, minutes, or seconds.
• Dashboards: List of Dashboards to cycle through.
  Note: The Slideshow Manager is accessed from within the Dashboard Viewer.

Good to know:

• After a Slideshow is created, it can be run from the Slideshow Manager or from the MRU list of recently accessed Slideshows.
• You can also specify a default Slideshow to be opened on startup via File>Options.

1. Open the Slideshow Manager
2. Select a scope and subfolder (if needed).
3. Click the Create New button .
