Configuring runtime capabilities

Select the capabilities that should be available to viewers when a presentation is launched at runtime. The runtime settings control whether options are available at runtime on the right-click context menu, as panel tools along the top of the visuals, and so on. For example, clearing the Lasso checkbox removes the lasso and auto lasso panel tools for all visuals in the presentation.

Note: When you configure the runtime settings for a presentation, those settings are applied for all users. It is important to note, however, that any users with write permissions for the presentation also share the ability to change the runtime settings.

Important: Where the same setting appears in both Present and Discover, the setting from Present is used in preference when viewing your presentation at runtime.

Changing the runtime settings

The Runtime Settings are managed from the Runtime options on the Presentation ribbon (blue arrow):

  1. Click Runtime Settings (green arrow).

    2. The Runtime Settings dialog opens with the Actions tab open (purple arrow, below).

  2. Optionally, select a Quick Preset option from the drop-down (yellow arrow).

    3. The quick presets select most (full), none, or a sub-set of the runtime settings. Tip: Use these options as your initial selection, and then refine your selections by selecting and clearing individual checkboxes in the next step.

  3. Select or clear the checkboxes to enable or disable the individual settings:
    • Select the parent checkbox (blue arrow) to select all runtime settings of a given type.
    • Select an individual checkbox (green arrow) to select a specific runtime setting.
  4. Click Save.

The runtime settings are saved and will apply the next time the presentation is opened at runtime.
