Aavelin User Manual

Press ‘Ok’ and the region item will be added to the list.

Scheduling

The scheduling tab of the crawl object properties sheet allows you to

set one or more scheduling conditions for each item in a crawl region.

Scheduling controls are the same as those for pages. Refer to the
“Scheduling” section of the “Scheduling and Other Page Properties”

chapter.

Logo

The logo tab allows you to insert a static logo image on screen that will be
present throughout the entire project. Allowable image types are .BMP and

.JPG.

Check the “Enable Logo for all pages” box, and click on the “Browse”

button to select your logo image.

Location

: This is the starting on-screen location for the logo image.

Placement can be fine tuned using the Horizontal and Vertical Offset

values.

Horizontal/Vertical Offset

: Allows for more precise placement of a

logo image. Horizontal offset will move the image up by the specified
number of pixels, and Vertical offset will move the image to the right

by the specified number. Only positive numbers are allowed. The

default value for both fields is 0.

Scale

: Controls the size of the logo image, with the value being

expressed as a percentage (i.e., 100 is the images original size, 200 is

double the original size). The default for this value is 100.

Audio

In addition to the visual elements that make up a page, the Aavelin supports 2

types of audio as well – external pass-thru, and Flash.
