In addition to these icons and links, the Player window features an Outline pane on the left side of the screen. The Outline pane displays the available modules, lessons, and topics for a title. If multiple titles are available, a list box appears displaying the titles that you can choose. You can only open one title at a time. This pane also includes a My Roles link. Clicking this link opens the My Roles dialog box in which you select a pre-defined role that allows you to view topics that pertain to a specific job function or functional grouping. For example, you could select “Payroll” to display those topics that refer to the payroll function. The Outline pane also includes a Search textbox. You can enter a search term to find all related topics through a keyword or full text search. For example, you could type the word “page” to find those topics that refer to page setup, page breaks, and so on. The All option is then used to redisplay all topics after you perform a search.
The Concept pane appears in the upper-right portion of the Player window and provides conceptual information regarding the selected topic. The Introduction pane appears in the lower-right portion of the window and provides an introduction to the selected topic. You can adjust the height and width of these panes by dragging the divider bars.
