Feature Setup

Available from Version: 9.7 

Operating System: Browser 

In the section Features you will find the feature tree as well as individual settings for the external link feature and placeholder behavior.

You can use the feature tree to enable and disable features.

Important

Changes to the feature setup do not impact the availability of feature settings. You can continue to modify individual feature settings even if the feature itself is disabled. Upon reactivation of the feature, your saved settings will be applied.

Enable and Disable Features

In the feature tree, you can see all features available in empower®.

Some features can be expanded to display more features connected to the feature on the first level.

To do so, click on the arrow symbol next to a feature.

To enable a feature, tick the checkbox next to the respective feature.

To disable a feature, untick the checkbox next to the respective feature.

If you disable a feature that has subfeatures, the subfeatures are disabled as well.

Note

The features in the feature tree are not filtered according to the empower® Components you use in your company. It might also contain features that are not available in your empower® Setup.

If this is the case, ticking and unticking the checkbox does not affect your empower® Setup.

The following table provides an overview of all features and where they can be found in the user interface:

The features Layout Cleaner and Pack & Go are also listed under the section Tools. However, ticking the checkboxes for these two features will not affect the empower® Ribbon since they will no longer be part of the feature palette empower offers in the empower® Component for PowerPoint.

The feature empower Links is listed under the section Content Management – Library Browser – WebLibrary Integration. However, this checkbox is deprecated and does not need to be ticked in order for this feature to be enabled.

Important

For the external link button in Word, you also have the option to add an icon. However, this setting does currently not affect how the external link button is displayed.

Placeholder Settings

In the section PowerPoint Placeholder Settings, you can choose what happens when the user inserts content into a placeholder. You can define the behavior for the following six placeholders (Figure 83, “Placeholder Settings”):

  • Chart

  • ClipArt

  • Picture

    The selected setting applies if the user selects the option From Device, Search on Web or Stock Images from the placeholder icon options.

    If the user selects the option Icons, the Office built-in options always open.

  • SmartArt

  • Table

  • Video

Figure 83. Placeholder Settings

Placeholder Settings

For each placeholder, you have the following three options:

  • empower Slides – If a user selects the placeholder option, the side pane opens in the corresponding folder in the empower® Library.

  • Deactivated – If a user selects the placeholder option, a message appears telling the user that this function is not available.

  • Built-in – If a user selects the placeholder option, the Office built-in options open.

Select your preferred options.

To confirm your changes, click on the button Save.

Note

Depending on the Office version in use, not all options in PowerPoint content placeholders can be configured. If the placeholder option cannot be configured in this section, the Office built-in options open if a user selects the respective option.

Note

If an element folder in the section Corporate Design Templates has been disabled via the feature tree, a dialog box opens (Figure 84, “Dialog Box for Disabled Element Folder”).
