SAP Visual Enterprise Viewer

Multimedia objects in .vds format can be viewed natively in the SAP Visual Enterprise Viewer without the need for a plugin. For other types of supported multimedia, a required plugin can be downloaded from SAP.

To view multimedia objects requiring the SAP ActiveX plug-in (such as SAP .rh format 3D graphics), if the plugin is not installed in your browser, download it from SAP. Subsequently, the plugin will be launched whenever a SAP media file requiring it is viewed.

The SAP Visual Enterprise Viewer includes a number of navigation and playback controls as in the following example.

ControlIconDescription

Play previous stepAllows you to play the previous step in a SAP graphic.
Play current stepAllows you to play the current step in a SAP graphic.

List all stepsDisplays a list of all the steps in a SAP graphic.
Play all stepsAllows you to play all the steps in a SAP graphic.
Pause stepAllows you to pause the playback of a SAP graphic. This control is active only while the graphic is playing.

When viewing a multimedia object, you can move through the steps of a procedure using navigation controls located in the viewer, in the publication itself, or in LiveContent S1000D.

Selecting List all steps invokes a popup menu showing a table of contents from which you can play a specific step.

Alternatively, selecting Play all steps plays each step of the animation sequentially.
