Storyline Glossary
Aug 13, 2012
Hi all,
I don't like the glossary that we can insert in Storyline : the texts are too small and the presentation is not fun.
Do you know if it is possible to insert an Engage Glossary as we can do with Presenter ?
I tried to insert a link at the topbar left (I personnalize the player to do so), and it works. But, to do that, I had to create a new slide including my Engage glossary. The link opens the glossary, it's ok, but how can I do to go back at the exact slide where my learner was before clicking on the link ?
I'm not sure to be clear (excuse my english). So do not hesitate to ask me questions
Thanks for your help !

No idea for this ?
Thanks
Hi!
For your imported Engage glossary on a slide, have it appear in a lightbox instead of jumping to a slide. That way, when the lightbox slide is closed, the learner is back where they were before clicking the glossary link.
Hi Gerry, it works !
Thank you very much for your help !
GREAT! Good luck on your project.
Hi Gerry,
Will this work in the Mobile Player. I love the engage glossary and also prefer it to the one in Storyline. i would like it to pop up as a lightbox so that they can look at the word while in the screen and then have it disappear, but if I import the engage glossary I didnt think it would work in HTML5 or Mobile player. I'm currently converting my original studio modules to storyline, so have the engage glossaries already done.
Hi,
Is it possible to have highlighted text or links in a Storyline slide clickable, and the result being that it opens up the Glossary and goes right to that word or phrase?
Also, is it possible to insert videos in a glossary?
regards,
Harry
Harry - If you ever get the answer to this question please let me know! I would like to do the exact same thing
HI Harry and Holly,
I believe that's currently not doable in Storyline, but if you'd like it, please put in a feature request. I'd like it...and I have! Squeaky wheel.
Hi Harry and Holly,
Definitely join Becky in submitting a feature request, our development team uses those to prioritize new features and updates. In the meantime, you could use something like Andrew shared in this example with a lightbox. Not as streamlined as the built in glossary, but a nice alternative.
I've found the only Glossary that both looks great, and is searchable, is to make a slide using layers, videos, adn such, then create a custom link in the player to display the glossary in a lightbox.
This is so much nicer and supports anything you can throw into it.
Best Regards,
Dennis Hall
Thanks Dennis for weighing in here as well.
Hi Lynne, you are correct that this will not work in html5 or the mobile player because they not support flash. The new version of Engage does support html5 and the mobile player but you can't import into Storyline yet.
Hi Nancy,
Do you know if the team is working on the import-to-Studio issue? I haven't gad any luck w it to date..
Hi Michael,
Do you mean importing Engage 13 into Storyline? This is something our team is aware of and working on but I don't have a timeline on a completion date for that.
Thanks Ashley... Good to know it's on their radar; We have all these elements we want to incorporate from AP13 into Storyline, and now are just on a holding pattern...
I know, a lot of cool new things in Studio 13! So, they're definitely working on it, and once an update is available we'll be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for your patience
Hi Ashley,
Putting the lack of features in HTML 5 aside for a moment (thanks Apple) - Just seeking an update importing Engage 13 into Storyline into Storyline? ....does AP Studio 13 output Engage 13 interaction as a SWF file when published ?
Just curious .
thnx
Garry
Hi Garry,
I don't have an update on the Storyline update that would allow Studio 13 files to be imported into Storyline. I have heard users publishing an Engage interaction as a web object, and then linking that into your Storyline file. As soon as we have information on an update, we'll post here to let you know.
When publishing an Engage interaction if you open up the published folder, there will be an interaction_content folder, a meta.xml file containing project info, an interaction.swf file, and a file called interaction.html (which is the file that launches your interaction). If you've opted to include HTML5 output and/or make your interaction viewable in the Articulate Mobile Player, there will also be some additional files to support these options. It does not publish a single swf file.
