Use Presentation Settings

Before you start adding content to your presentation, you can make global settings for the presentation.

If your empower^® Administrators have made it mandatory to fill in the fields in the Presentation Settings, the dialog box opens automatically when you open a new presentation.

In the Presentation Settings, you can set your preferences for the following aspects (Figure 294, “Presentation Settings”):

If you want to change the fields or if they have not been made mandatory, you can access them manually.

To access the Presentation Settings, navigate to the group Finalize and click on the button Check (Figure 295, “Button Check”).

In the drop-down menu, click on the button Presentation Settings (Figure 296, “Option Presentation Settings”).

A dialog box opens.

Under Language, you can set a global language for the presentation.

To do so, open the drop-down menu and choose your preferred language.

To add slide numbers to the footer on each slide, tick the checkbox for Page Numbers.

Slide numbers will be added to all slides they have been configured for (Figure 297, “Slide Number (Example)”).

To add a date to the footer on each slide, tick the checkbox next to Date.

Then, click into the input field.

A menu opens.

If you want to always display the current date, choose the option Update automatically (Figure 298, “Update Date Automatically”).

Then, open the drop-down menu under Format to choose a date format.

If you want to display a fixed date in a custom format, choose the option Fixed and type in the date (Figure 299, “Fixed Date”).

The date will be added to your slide (Figure 300, “Date (Example)”).

If you want to add custom text to the presentation footer, tick the checkbox for Footer.

Then, enter your text in the input field.

The text will be displayed in the footer of your slides (Figure 301, “Footer (Example)”).

If your empower^® Administrators have added custom master fields to the master template in use, the master fields are displayed to be filled in in the Presentation Settings.

The position of the master fields depends on the setup that has been done by your empower^® Administrators.

Depending on how the master field has been set up, you can either enter your own text, choose from a predefined set of texts or enable and disable the master field via a checkbox.

For example, master fields are often used to insert a confidentiality label into your slides (Figure 302, “Confidentiality Master Field (Example)”).

They can also be used to insert a label (Figure 303, “Label Master Field (Example)”).

A watermark can also be configured as a master field (Figure 304, “Watermark Master Field (Example)”).

If you want to switch to a different logo to be displayed, select it from the available options (Figure 305, “Logo Options”).

You can also choose not to display any logo.

To make a logo the default logo to be used, select the logo and click on the button Set Default.

To confirm all settings, click on the button OK.

All changes will be applied on the presentation and a footer will be added.
