How visibility settings for sections affect test navigation
Visibility settings for a section influence navigation in the test. By using the Hide section option, you can conceal the structural element and section title from users. Combined with the test display setting Show all tasks in a section on one page, this results in different navigation sequences. Here are some examples.
You can find the Hide section settings in the Options tab of a section. Further information on this can be found on the page Set Section Options. The configuration Show all tasks of a section on one page is available in the Options tab of the test. For more information, see the page Test Options.
All examples described below can be reproduced with the test file . Download the sample and import it into your ONYX Editor as explained on the Import Content.
