I'm wondering if there is a way to add numbered markers to a labeled graphic over number 9. I need up to 15 numbered markers but I only see the option to add up to 9.
I'd recommend just using the native functionality in Storyline and including a storyline block, if you're going to go to all that extra trouble. At least Storyline lets you turn the pulse on and off, and it has markers that go up to 20.
The point of the post was the lack of native support in Rise itself. So, we still need a decent solution from Articulate that allows for a bigger library of icons to be chosen for the markers...the intentional lack makes no sense, as it seems like a 2-minute fix.
In our organization, we may only use features and functions that are provided natively in Rise itself. If it's part of a standard block we may use it, otherwise not.
So we are prohibited from using any of the workarounds such as those kindly provided by Phil.
Any updates on this request? I see it was originally noted in 2019.
Separately, where can I find documentation of requested features like this? I often find feature requests that are multiple years old, with no resolution. It feels as if requests are not taken into account, though I'm sure that's not the case. Where can I find documentation that would show where feature requests are on the "list of upcoming features" or anything to show how Articulate chooses features to work on?
While I understand that a development team simply cannot address every single change request, I find it peculiar than in a world of AI, where companies like Articulate are championing the time saving benefits of nascent technology, people are still being advised to "workaround" a relatively basic issue like this by using Storyline.
As powerful as Storyline unquestionably is for bespoke design, an instructional designer needs to be designing instructionally out of the box where at all possible - not spending time "developing" interactions because of spurious limitations in the usually more convenient Rise. Storyline is great for truly novel interactions - but they are, normally, the exception rather than the rule for most.
The instructional design here is in the selecting of a hotspot screen with, say, 12 click events (though that, admittedly, seems a lot) to convey information in an engaging way. Having to go to Storyline and build it from scratch is not instructional design. It's interaction development and it's hardly justifiable when Rise can technically do what is basically a simple request with a few tweaks to the engine.

Hi!
We also need to go above 9.

Yes, please! This would be a nice update to have.

Is there a way to add a custom marker where you can customize your mark to your needs?
That will be great!!!!
I'd like to add my +1000 to this years-old request. It seems like it would be an incredibly simple upgrade.
However, since this feature doesn't seem to be a priority, I've created a clunky workaround you can see here:

It's quite a lot sillier than just making this function properly within the tool...but if you're in a pinch, this may be a decent enough workaround.
Hi George,
Simple but effective solution. Thanks for sharing.
Articulate Staff, is there any update on this please?
I noticed no member of staf has commented on this much requested feature since April 2022.
Are the number of people asking for this feature still being counted?
Hello, please add my vote. Is there any update on this? Thanks!
Hi, I'm looking for markers that go up to 20 - would like to add my vote for this request.
Thanks.
Ay yi yi. This is sad.
Here is a demo of custom graphic markers using a theme component, including a custom highlight color, numbering over 9, and custom 'completed' state.

Wish I could use storyline, but I don't have a pc, and the text in storyline becomes tiny on mobile, can't use it.

Hi all,
Any updates on this request? it appears to still stop at 9 and there is a real need to go beyond 9.
Thanks!
This clearly is something Articulate need to look at so fingers crossed that they will. We have lots of users who request this on a regular basis.
Definitely, it looks like folks have been asking for a few years1
Hello, is there any update at all? Considering the comments from four years ago, one would assume there should have been updates by now.
