FAQ

1. questions about the storage locations (2)

We recommend storing this locally, e.g. directly on the C drive or, for example, under Documents. If you use OneDrive, please set it so that the datango storage location remains available on your device. If OneDrive deletes files locally and only keeps them in the cloud, unexpected behavior may occur. If a network drive has been selected or an external hard disk, you should make sure that no more than 5 seconds elapse when creating it, make sure that two or more people never try to edit the same content at the same time!

There is a short learning unit on this: I:\!intern\Documents & Knowledgebase\Change storage location.docx

2. questions about the recording strip (2)

Please check whether you have installed the latest Windows updates, as some of our DLL files are no longer supported by older Windows versions. If you have closed Creator and Live! and all other Java applications, but still see a java.exe or javaw.exe in the "Details" tab in the Windows Task Manager, please close the process structure and then check again whether you can record normally again.

In the middle of the recording bar is a white circle with arrow buttons. You can use these to open various parameters and select options.

3. questions about SAP (2)

SAP settings:

  • Under Options -> Accessibility and scripting -> Script support -> Script support must be installed and activated. The sub-item "Notify when a script connects to SAP GUI" must be disabled. (would ensure that recording in SAP is not possible).
  • SAP scripting must also be activated on the server side and you need read access.
  • We recommend deactivating the "Animated focus activated" checkbox in the SAP GUI options under Theme / Preview if you want to work with the practice and test mode, as otherwise it is visible at first glance where you have to click.
  • You have the option of switching off the tooltip for interaction design and notifications. Additional descriptions no longer appear when the mouse is positioned on a button. These additional "flags" are otherwise visible on the screenshots and may cover part of the image and reveal where to click in test mode.
  • Under Options -> Local data -> History -> Switch off history. New users have no history and therefore cannot enter a few letters in the real system and then work with the automatic completion.

Execute transaction "RZ11", enter the parameter name "sapgui/user_scripting" and click on the "Display" button. If the parameter is not found, then the support of the package level of the system is not sufficient (admin rights required).

On the following screen, the current value should be "TRUE". If it is displayed as "FALSE", please click on "Change value".

Set the value to "TRUE" and save it. The value must be entered in capital letters, otherwise it will be interpreted as "FALSE".
It is better to set the profile value to "TRUE" instead of the current value, as this is the default value that is set after a server restart.
If the parameter "sapgui/user_scripting_per_user" is also "TRUE", all datango users require the authorization "Execute(16)" of the authorization object "S_SCR" in the class "BC_A". Alternatively, the parameter sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly can also be set to "TRUE", as read-only access is completely sufficient for datango.

The parameter "sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording" can also be set to "TRUE" for us without any problems, as datango does not record any new scripts.
If the NWBC is used, "sapgui/nwbc_scripting" can also be set to "TRUE", which corresponds to the simultaneous activation of "sapgui/user_scripting" and "sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly".

4. questions about optics (3)

This is not possible for the simulations. Here you should set the recording area as required before recording. For the documentation, it is possible to crop the screenshots afterwards. This can be done manually or automatically. If you only want to crop the task bar, please contact support.

With the explanation bubble, you have the option of inserting different "text types". For example, a yellow warning triangle or a light bulb for a note. You can also insert images.

datango Support can work with you to design a customized bubble style, which may incur costs. You have various setting options under Tools -> Settings -> Initialization values.

5. questions about the display (2)

The following must be carried out in Word: View -> Outline -> then click on "Expand branch documents" and close. Now it will be displayed correctly. It only needs to be done in Word.

It is essential to save after every change. You can see from the unit or the journey whether these have been saved. If there is an * next to the name, this means that it has not been saved. If the asterisk * is gone, the new changes have been saved.

6. comprehension questions (4)

Shared content" means that content that is stored there can be regarded as "original". Links can be created from this original in the folder structures, otherwise these are not visible to the end user. The project can therefore be integrated into the folder structure as often as you like. If the "Original" is edited and saved under "Sharedcontent", the linked projects are also edited. Shared content can only be deleted in the server with the appropriate authorization, as individual authors cannot know whether other authors are also using the content.

Add a new unit: This is about creating the simulations or e-learning modes for a process, for example, i.e. the demo, exercise, test and practice mode. You record your process and create the required recordings for the e-learning modes at the same time. You can then create the documentation if necessary. With a new Journey, you create a universal training course, a classic manual (multimedia) document, without process recording. You can then also integrate the various e-learning modes, additional documents, graphics or videos etc. into this.

Please ensure that the "Edit workspaces" right is assigned (not just "View workspaces").

The "waLiveGlossary" workspace is the library for the "Augmented Tooltip" and must not be deleted or deactivated. Otherwise, the collaborator server or the live! client may no longer function properly.

7. questions about operation (7)

If you only have the Creator in operation, you can click on the desired unit and click on "Hide" on the right. The mode is then not displayed for end users. This also works for entire units, journeys and folders. You can set demo and practice mode to be displayed and test and practice mode to be hidden. Only demo and practice mode are then displayed.

You can use the Collaborator to control which content is to be published and this is then made available via the Media Center, Live!, course view or direct links. If you do not want to use the Collaborator, you can copy the content to another web server; you can find the function in the Creator under "Content management" and then "Publish".

Please take a document that you have created with datango and save it in any location. Delete all content except for the heading, for example, and then replace the designs in the header and footer. You can also change the fonts and font sizes in the Word text styles. However, please do not add or delete any. The included fields such as "Title", "Author", "Date" and "Page numbers" are the only ones supported. Save and import them via Tools -> Settings -> Application -> Documentation -> Customized styles by clicking on the "+" icon.

In the Creator under Tools -> Documentation for Unit or Journey. Here you can select the different formats Word, PDF, PowerPoint or HTML.

Yes, you can already delete the screenshots during recording if you go to the mini-screenshots in the recording bar and right-click to say that you want to delete. However, you also have the option of clicking on "Delete page irrevocably" in the recording bar. You can also do this in post-processing by right-clicking on the screenshot.

To make this possible, an author can move a folder / content from "Local Content" to the server folder (Main) at any time.

To do this, you must click on "Administration" in the Collaborator on "OUs, groups and users". If you search for the "Master authors" group and click on it, you will see on the right which users are in this group. Here you can delete the user by clicking on the persona icon "-". This is located at the bottom right. Then add the user in question to the "Standard authors" group. To do this, use the "+" persona icon.

9. questions about malfunctions (3)

Please check that your Windows scaling is set to 100%, regardless of what Windows marks as "Recommended". This setting is required by the Creator for correct recording. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings. Select the "Scaling" item and set this to 100%. Then please log out of Windows once and then log in again for the change to take effect.

It is important that you publish the content that you want to show in Live! in the Collaborator. The correct language must also be set in Live! If in doubt, change the language and search in a different one. If you are looking for German content, change it once so that only English is active and then change it so that German is active again. Sometimes German is displayed as active although it is not.

The practice mode only stays in the foreground when you start it from Live! In version 3.6 the practice mode does not stay in the foreground, this is not correct and will be fixed soon.

8. questions about training (1)

You can access our manual in the Creator via the help menu. It is very detailed and covers all icons and topics that are part of the training. We also offer "datango for datango" content for purchase. Please contact our Support or Customer Care.

10. technical questions (5)

If you click on the other screens, these will also be recorded. If a specific screen area is defined, only this area will be recorded. The setting is the same for all authors who are connected to the same Collaborator.

Yes, licenses are required, please contact us.

As of version 3.6, there is no longer a Java installation. We unpack an "Open JRE" that works without installation and does not collide with Java installations.

You send us the DKP files and we convert them into PRS files for you. We then make them available to you again and you can integrate the PRS files into the Creator via Content management -> Import archive.
However, we require a written order so that we can process the files.

On pages 3 to 5 of the Creator and Live! Admin manuals there are instructions for software distribution.
