Using the Siebel Distance Learning Toolbar to Conduct a Session

Siebel Distance Learning allows you to show or hide a toolbar that provides quick access to several useful commands. The following paragraphs describe the buttons on the toolbar, as shown in Figure 1, that are available to a presenter, in their order from left to right.

NOTE:  You can display a ToolTip identifying label for any toolbar icon by clicking the session name to select the toolbar, then positioning your cursor over the icon and holding it still for a few seconds.
