Program: A program is a set of slides which can be used to disseminating the information. One can create as many program as one needs depending upon the need of specific department or specific certifications organization is going for etc. These programs can be called from one another and hence it always makes sense to create smaller programs and then call them from a main program.

Every program comprises of various pages. There can be three types of pages namely Display Pages, Navigation Pages & Quiz pages.

Display Pages: Display pages have specific templates in which the information can be displayed. So one can choose how many movies, images etc. one would like to have on the screen. Also the text & the fonts etc. can be chosen in the display pages.

Navigation Pages: Navigation pages are used for navigating through various programs. When one has many programs and wants to organize the programs then the navigation option is used. However in a KIOSK kind of an environment it one should avoid too much of navigation which may result in confusing the users.

Quiz Pages: This option can be used for checking the level of training received by a specific user. This option helps creating a small question bank of questions and the users can be asked random questions out of this question bank. A certificate can be printed if required for the safety training.

Under Administrator mode one can create programs and mange the same and under User mode the users can access these programs directly. You can assign a specific program to a specific user so when you login as that user this program start working automatically.
