When you have more rows returned from a data connection than that can fit on one page, you could define two pages for the same purpose. But what if even two pages are not sufficient? Add a third one could be an option or to use one page only with scrolling data.

When scrolling is enabled you just define the settings for one page and indicate per data connection the step size and the step time. If there are more records returned from the data connection than can fit on one page, the data will be scrolled by using the scrolling parameters.

This scrolling functionality will end on your slide when the last row from your data source has been shown.

First choose the connection from the defined connections list to specify on which data connection you want to enable data scrolling. Then check or uncheck the Enabled checkbox.

When you have more than one scrolling data connection on a single slide, then you should indicate the master scrolling connection. By marking a connection as the master scrolling connection you identify that you want to go to the next slide when all information of this data connection is displayed. The otter connections (non master connections) will repeat its data until the master data connection has reached its last position.

The time value indicates when a page should scroll to the next set of the data connection.

The step size determines the number of records that are skipped after the time is over. Whenever the last record of a data connection is shown, the presentation will start all over again counted from the first record of the data connection.

Let us explain how this scrolling functionality works. We have a data source returning some 20 data rows. Now we create a slide and put 3 text shapes on the slide each displaying another row. We set the scrolling step time to 5 seconds. Now see below what which record will be displayed when you start the slide show.
