Set navigation in the Flowchart
For smaller projects, you can drag items directly into the Flowchart panel and arrange them manually. For large,
complex projects, you can use auto layout, letting Encore position items in the Flowchart. You can also choose to
work with a combination of auto and manual layout.
Use the Navigation Design workspace when you create and manage links. Choose Window > Workspace >
Navigation Design to open the predesigned workspace.
1 Create a new project, and then import and convert the necessary assets into Encore project elements. In this
example, the project includes a main menu, a timeline, and a slide show.
2 Choose Window > Flowchart if you don’t see the Flowchart panel. The first element you imported is already
linked to the disc icon. (Encore automatically sets the project’s First Play link to the first imported element.) The
remaining, unused elements appear in the lower section of the Flowchart panel.
3 Set the desired First Play link. In this example, the First Play item is the main menu. Set this link using one of the
following methods:
• Click the Selection tool , and then select the disc icon. (The Selection tool icon changes to the pick whip icon
when it’s in the Flowchart.) Drag from the disc icon to the element you want to set as the First Play link. You can
drag to other items in the Flowchart, or to the Project, Timelines, or Menus panel.
• Click the Direct Select tool , and drag an item from anywhere, including Windows Explorer or the Mac OS
Finder, onto the disc icon.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the disc icon and choose Specify Link from the context menu.
In the Specify Link dialog box, select the main menu and click OK.
4 Create a link from the menu’s first button (listed under the main menu icon) to the timeline (displayed in the lower
section of the Flowchart panel) by using one of the methods in step 3.
5 Set the end action of the timeline you just added to targettheslideshowusingoneofthemethodsinstep3.After
you set the link, note that, in the timeline’s Properties panel, the end action links to the slide show. When the viewer
selects the first button, the timeline plays and then the slide show.
6 Set the menu’s second button to link directly to the slide show using one of the methods in step 3. Now the viewer
can go directly to the slide show, skipping the timeline, by clicking the second button on the menu.
7 Save the file.

Add elements to the Flowchart
The Flowchart links elements you add depending on where you drop them. If you drop an element (such as a
timeline, menu, slide show, and so on) onto empty space, no link is created. If you drop an element onto a menu
thumbnail, a new button is created, linking to the element. If you drop an element onto a menu’s button, a link from
the existing button to the element is created. If you drop an element onto a timeline, slide show, playlist, or chapter
playlist, an end action linking to the dropped element is created. Linking assets by using the pick whip behaves in
the same way.
❖ Do any of the following:
• Drag an unused element from the lower pane onto an element in the upper pane to add it to the Flowchart.
