Building own Document/Resources Menu

Nov 02, 2016

Hi all,

is there a way to build my own document / resources menu in Storyline 2?

Didn´t find any suggestion / solution until now.

Why I don´t want to use the regular build-in resources menu in the player? Because we have created our own corporate design without using the build-in menus.

Thanks a lot for your help and all helpfull Solutions or workarounds!

Hello Alex!  Welcome to Heroes!  You might want to have a look at creating a lightbox slide to maintain your corporate design and still offer the resources your learners need.  You can even add a tab on your Player to show that lightbox slide from any slide without losing their place in the course.

Let us know how you make out!

Hi Crystal! Thanks for your reply! The solution creating a lightbox is unfortunately not the way I wanted to solve the "problem". Perhaps I´ve explained my wish or idea a little inaccurate? So I´ve made some screenshots how the current state is in Storyline and what I want to get out of my Story. Maybe there is any way? Thanks!

I see!  Using the Player as is, you won't be able to get it to look quite like yours.  You could "eliminate" the Player and have your slides (perhaps on a master layout) show resource tabs at the top.  That would be a design choice.

We also have our software development kit and Developer SDKs forum where folks share ideas on building out custom players for their courses.  If you're crafty, you can take a look and see if that gives you ideas.  Those player frames are Flash specific.

Otherwise, I'll defer to our community for more ideas!
