Jump-in Points are available to users in the Player. An arrow icon appears on the See It!, Try It!, and Do It! buttons in the Player window. Clicking the icon opens a window containing a list of Jump-in point links to various frames within a topic. The Beginning of the Topic Jump-in point displays by default. These links allows a user viewing content in the Player to start a topic at a point other than at the beginning. For example, if you have a topic that covers many screens, you can create Jump-in Points to allow users to move directly to the screen with which they need help, instead of navigating the entire topic.

The Frame Properties toolpane in the Topic Editor includes a Jump-in point field at the bottom. You can enter a descriptive name for a frame in this field to create a Jump-in point. You cannot create Jump-in points for Introduction/End frames.

If the play mode for a jump-in frame is unmarked in the Show In list, the jump-in point does not appear in the jump-in list for that play mode in the Player. For example, if you add a jump-in point for a frame that is deselected for See It!/Try It! mode, the jump-in point does not appear in the jump-in lists for the See It! or Try It! play mode buttons in the Player.

Note: The Jump-in point field is at the bottom of the toolpane. You may need to maximize the display to see it.

1. Display the Frame Properties toolpane, if necessary.
    
2. Click the Jump-in point field.
    
3. Type the text you want to appear as the link to the Jump-in point.
