empower® Library on the Web

The empower^® Library is divided into the following main sections (Figure 8, “Library Sections”):

The empower^® Web App represents an online standalone version of the empower^® Library.

To access the empower^® Web App, use the URL you have received from your administrators.

In the empower^® Web App, you can see the folder arrangement of the library on the left. It has been constructed in congruence with Microsoft’s Windows Explorer (Figure 9, “Folder Arrangement in Web App”).

On the right-hand side, you can see the content of the selected folder. The elements are divided by element type (Figure 10, “Elements Divided by Type”).

For each element, further meta information such as author, last modification date and size can also be viewed on the bottom of the library (Figure 11, “Metadata Display”).

You can also view how often the element has been used in your company. The count increases each time an element is inserted or opened by a user.

In the navigation bar, you can access all available actions for the currently selected element (Figure 12, “Navigation Bar in Web App”).

To navigate into a presentation and view or use the contained slides, double-click on the presentation or click on the button Show Slides.

In the navigation bar, you can use the button Preview to open a magnified preview of the element.

For presentations, you can also navigate through the contained slides (Figure 13, “Preview”).

In the Office Online applications, the empower^® Library integrates into the browser tab.

To access the empower^® Library in PowerPoint, Word or Excel Online, navigate to the empower^® Ribbon and click on the button Library (Figure 14, “Button Library in PowerPoint Online”).

The empower^® Library opens in a sidepane on the right-hand side of your browser window (Figure 15, “Sidepane in Office Online Application”).

After opening the library, the folder arrangement is hidden.

As the library opens on the first level of the Company Library, you can browse through the folders of the Company Library using double-clicks on the folders.

If you want to access another section of the empower^® Library, access the folder arrangement by opening the menu next to the search bar (Figure 16, “Menu Symbol for Folder Arrangement”).

Here, you can either access sections or folders. You can also expand folders to see their subfolders (Figure 17, “Folder Arrangement in Sidepane”).

If you click on a folder, the folder arrangement closes automatically and the library shows the folder content.

Here, the elements are also divided by element type.

In the navigation bar, you can access all available actions for the currently selected element (Figure 18, “Navigation Bar in Sidepane”).

However, some actions might be hidden behind a menu symbol because of the limited space in the sidepane (Figure 19, “Menu Button in Navigation Bar”).

To navigate into a presentation and view or use the contained slides, double-click on the presentation or open the menu and choose the option Show Slides.

You can always navigate back to an upper level of the current folder using the path bar on the top of the sidepane (Figure 20, “Path Bar”).

To display the full navigation bar or to display the folder arrangement permanently in Word Online or Excel Online, you can expand the sidepane by dragging the sidepane to the left.

This will reduce the space used to display your document or workbook on the left.

In PowerPoint Online, the sidepane cannot be expanded due to technical limitations.

Here, you can view the library in a dialog box.

To do so, click on the button on the right-hand side of the path bar on top of the sidepane (Figure 21, “Open Library Dialog Box”).

You can navigate through the library as described above (Figure 22, “Library Dialog Box for PowerPoint Online”).

While working in this dialog box, you cannot use the sidepane.

To close the library dialog box, click on the X symbol in the upper right corner.
