Story Board Ribbons

Story Board functions and options are contained within the Story Board "Ribbon" - a combination menu and toolbar framework designed to make the application's core functions readily accessible to end users.

Quick Menu (blue)

The quick menu of the ribbon includes several key functions:

• Quick Save Button - this button provides a shortcut to the save functionality found in the backstage. For new content, it acts as the "Save As" function.
• Run Dashboard Button - this button provides a shortcut to launching the dashboard into 'runtime' mode.
• Story Board Help Button - provides direct access to the main Story Board help topics.
• Show/Hide Ribbon button - provides a manual way to show or hide the main ribbon interface.

Status Bar (red)

A status bar is provided for highlighting the title of the currently opened dashboard.

Main Ribbon (green)
