SC10. Sym Overview Videos

How to upload an overview video for a Sym

An Overview Video helps a training understand the Sym they are about to take. It's like a movie trailer. 

First, you need to be a Sym Creator logged in to SymTrain.  Next, you will need a video in the .mp4 video format.  

To upload an overview video:

  1. Go to Syms.
  2. Find the Sym for which you want to upload a video.
  3. Click on the "Play" icon. 
  4. If a video is already uploaded, it will play.
  5. If there is no video uploaded, you will be prompted to upload a video. 

This video walks you through the above process. (24 second video)

SC24. What do the Sym Creator icons do?

What the icons mean on the Manage Syms dashboard

(Video)

The icon functions are as follows:

Pencil = edit

Trash can = delete (CANNOT BE UNDONE)

Two squares = clone (duplicate)

Eye = preview a sym. Allows you to take a quick look at a sym without having to assign it to yourself as a trainee. Note that this option will ALWAYS show you the script lines even if you have DESELECTED the "View script in test mode" box. 

Play = attach a sym overview video

Overview = allows you to view or upload a traile 

Share  = allows you share a deep link to the sym. The sym must be assigned to that person in order for this deep link to work properly.

Download = downloads the script lines as a Word document

Lock/unlock = prevents others from making changes to the sym you created

Archive/unarchive = declutters your dashboard by storing the sym in an archive location. You can always retrieve it.
