These properties define the presentations that will be played within the Presentation in Page element. You can add a single presentation or create a playlist of multiple presentations that will be played sequentially.

​
Managing the Playlist

  • Add, edit, reorder, or remove items from the playlist.
  • Navigate through items using the navigation buttons at the bottom.
  • The total duration of all playlist items is displayed.
💡 For general playlist management details, see “Working with Playlists.”

Presentation in Page Playlist Item

​
Type

Defines the source of the included presentation:
OptionDescription
PADS4 Presentation from Content LibraryReferences a presentation stored in the PADS4 content library (recommended). Content library items are automatically synchronized across all PCs in your system.
PADS4 Presentation from FileReferences a presentation stored outside the content library. These files are not synchronized automatically, and you must manually distribute them.
No PADS4 PresentationNo presentation is included—this option is used to create a pause in the playlist.

​
Content

Contains the file reference for the selected presentation type. You can:
  • Browse the Content Library or your file system.
  • If using “PADS4 Presentation from File,” specify the full file path.

​
Duration

Defines how long (in seconds) the selected presentation or pause will be displayed.

​
Clip Presentation

  • If enabled, only a portion of the presentation will be played based on the selected page range.
  • First Page: The first page to be displayed.
  • Last Page: The last page to be displayed.

​
Remarks

  • Only references to presentation files are stored in the container presentation—not the actual files. If the referenced presentation is updated, the latest version will be used automatically during playback.
  • Playlist properties will be disabled when the element is connected to a data source. In this case, content is determined by real-time data.
  • In PADS4 Designer, data providers inside the Presentation in Page element are not loaded for performance reasons.
