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.
| Control | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Previous graphic | Displays the previous graphic in the module (if one exists). | |
| Next graphic | Displays the next graphic in the module (if one exists). | |
| Play previous step | Allows you to play the previous step in a SAP graphic. | |
| Play current step | Allows you to play the current step in a SAP graphic. | |
| Play next step | Allows you to play the next step in a SAP graphic. | |
| List all steps | Displays a list of all the steps in a SAP graphic. | |
| Play all steps | Allows you to play all the steps in a SAP graphic. | |
| Pause step | Allows 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.
