📷 Hero screenshot to add — A Slide in field context
Ideal: a Slide rendered on (or composited onto) an iPad/tablet mock to evoke the eDetailer context — what a field rep actually sees. Acceptable alternative: a Slide open in the Activator Editor, full-screen mode, design rendered. Replace this panel with the image.
Slides and eDetailers are interactive HTML presentations built in Activator for use in pharmaceutical field sales and digital engagement. This section covers everything you need to design, build, and publish Slide content.
What are Slides and eDetailers?
A Slide in Activator is a full-screen interactive page that forms part of a presentation (called a Collection or Binder). Slides are built using the Activator Content Designer and published to a CRM (such as Veeva) for use on tablets during in-person meetings with healthcare professionals.
An eDetailer (electronic detail aid) is a presentation built from Slides — typically used by medical sales representatives to guide product conversations. eDetailers are interactive, may include navigation menus, popups, and state-based content, and are submitted through an MLR approval workflow before deployment.
Key Concepts
-
Slides are structured using Layout → Row → Column containers, the same pattern used across all Activator content types.
-
Interactive features such as popups, state containers, and tab groups allow you to build rich, non-linear experiences.
-
Navigation between slides is managed through Slide Fragments (reusable menu components) or custom navigation components.
-
Responsive layouts adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.
-
Completed presentations are published to Vault for MLR review and CRM deployment.
