To add a Session Reference page

1. From the Edit menu select Session Reference.
2. The Session Properties dialog box will be displayed. This is also Step 2 of 3 of the Publishing Wizard process. For more information, see Publishing a Presentation.
3. Enter the necessary information:
   • Title
   • Description
   • Add file(s) (internal resource) and/or URL(s) (external resource).

To add a single file

1. In the Session Reference dialog box click Add File.
2. When the Internal Resource dialog box displays select the Single File option.

   This will enable the File text box and disable the Local web folder options.

3. Click Browse to select a Word, Excel, PDF or PowerPoint file to add to the Session Reference page.
4. Select the file and enter a title for the resource. Click OK for the resource file to be copied to the Presentation (.prs) file.

To add a URL (External Resource)

1. In the Session Reference dialog box click Add URL.

   The External Resource dialog box displays.

2. Enter a name for the URL and the URL.
3. Provide a brief description of the URL.
4. Click OK to add the URL.

To add a local web folder

1. In the Session Reference dialog box click Add File.
2. When the Internal Resource dialog box displays select the Local web folder option.

   This will enable the Folder textbox and File drop- down box and disable the Single File options.

3. Click Browse to select local HTM/HTML web pages to add to the Session Reference page.

   Notes:

   Ensure that the folder on your hard disk contains the required web pages along with all its associated objects, images, style sheets, fonts, flash movies, etc.

   When the folder is selected, the drop-down box is filled with all the HTM and HTML files in that folder (not the sub folders) in alphabetical order. If any of the following pages are found, it will be made the default page in the drop-down box: index.html, index.htm, default.html, default.htm. If none of these are present in the folder, the default page will be the first entry in the drop- down box.

   Ensure that objects in the web page are not referenced by absolute paths since the web page may appear to work fine in both the Preview in Browser mode and in the published course, but such objects will not appear when the course is moved to a different computer or uploaded to Skillport. This also applies to exclusive local fonts that may be used in the web pages.

   If you wish to have several web pages from the website folder to link to the Session Reference page, you can add each one as a separate internal resource.

   Select the folder and enter a title and brief description for the selected resource. Click OK for the web folder to be copied to the presentation (.prs) file.

To edit a resource

Note: When you add reference files and web folders, they are embedded into your presentation. If you update these resources on your hard disk, ensure that you edit the updated Internal Resource from Dialogue Design and replace it with the updated reference file or web folder. This can be done in Edit mode.

1. Select the resource from the table.
2. Click Edit.

   The Internal Resource screen displays.

3. Select the folder with the modified contents.
