You'll also find links to browse the items in the system or quickly find them using the name, description and other key words. You can also create new items directly from the start page as well.'

New Item\ The New Item section lists all documents and component creation tools in alphabetical order. These links are also available from the Home ribbon's New Items dropdown and the All Documents window.

Blog section\ The blog or RSS URLs or a Static HTML page can be configured to appear in this window. The blog section can be configured to show Arkieva news and blogs or a customer's news and blogs.

For help converting slides to HTML5 please contact Harshala Fernandes [hfernandes@arkieva.com](mailto:hfernandes@arkieva.com).
Creating PowerPoint slides for Publishing\ A PowerPoint deck and slides will need to be designed first before the following steps can be completed. The example below features a workflow with multiple buttons to launch Arkieva components and documents.

To create a button in PowerPoint that will launch a document in Arkieva, create a shape or place an item you wish to be that button, then select the shape or item.

Next go to the Insert tab and click the Action button in the Links section to launch the Action Settings window.

In the Action settings window, click the Run Program radial button. In this field, type: narkieva:/ and the file path name of the document in Arkieva.

The file path name can be found in All Documents in the Path column.


Type the Path name exactly as it appears in Arkieva in the Run Program field. Click OK.

Save the Powerpoint slide deck after creating all desired buttons to open documents and/or components. Send the slide deck to an Arkieva consultant for conversion to HTML.

Importing HTML5 into Arkieva\ After creating the slide deck and converting it to HTML5, the next step is to select the Published content to launch in the Workflow Manager. Launch Arkieva and open the Settings window from the Team Ribbon.

Click the Workflows tab. Click the link to continue the steps for importing HTML5 into Arkieva.

The Information Bar offers helpful information while using the various Arkieva components and documents. Documents and components have different features that will populate the Information Bar, but four features remain constant throughout Arkieva:

Messages Pane\ Arkieva will keep track of your activities such as overrides, comments, before and after values, etc., and keep a record of any errors that may have occurred. To view messages, click the message button in the information bar.

The messages mostly list information from the database side of what’s happening, but you can send this data to your support and development team by right-clicking and copying to the notepad or email.

Arkieva has several shortcut key commands that make your Arkieva navigation experience easier. Below you will find the list of shortcut keyboard commands and how to perform them: Access All Documents, Close Tab, Display Ribbon Commands, Open Quick Access, Save a Document, and Show Assist.

Window Sizing\ If you resize the Arkieva application window and then exit Arkieva, the application will remember the dimensions it was last sized to.
Docking Hints\ When multiple documents are open in Arkieva, the default action is to open all documents in tabs along the top of the application below the ribbon. Click and drag the tabs to activate the Docking Hints icons to organize the document tabs.
If a tab can be clicked, the tab will have a dark blue line around it when dragged, and the Docking Hints icons will appear in the middle, bottom, right, left, and top of the workspace. Some tabs can pop out to create new windows; click and drag the tab outside the border of the Arkieva software window.
Tabs popped out into windows can be reset by holding CTRL and Clicking the window twice. Reset the workspace with the Reset Tabs button in the View Ribbon.
