Buttons not Showing Layer on Tablet & Phone

Jan 23, 2017

I am using the standard buttons built into storyline 360 and when clicked they are to trigger - show layer.  That is not working on tablet and phones.  Any ideas?

This is the version that I am working in the area not working is under Business Issues (in the menu) there are green "Success Story" buttons that are not showing.

I also noticed that in the Articulate APP, they are opening fine but the PDF's that they attach to will not show up.

Hello Justin!

I tested your link on my mobile device (iPhone iOS 10.2) and I was able to open the layers (sometimes after one or two tries) and access the PDF files. Can you tell me more about which devices you tested on and what browsers you were using? It might also be helpful if you could share your file with us here so we can do a little more digging as to why the layer isn't opening on the first try, or not opening at all in your case. You can send it directly to our Support Engineers by way of this form, and you'll hear from someone on the team shortly!

Hi there Laura,

Thanks for reaching out. I don't see that Justin opened a support case, so hopefully he can chime in and share if he found a solution.

We'd be happy to take a closer look at your file to try and determine what could be causing this, and you can send it to us directly right here. Our Support Engineers are available 24/7 to assist. :)

I had this same issue occur just this week.  A button, when tapped on a tablet, would not open a layer.  The button worked fine on a PC.  It also worked fine when previewing in Storyline.  But when testing on a tablet, the button did not work.

Replacing the "hide this layer when user clicks outside object" trigger with a close box solved the problem.  Any chance this will be addressed in an update?

Hi there, S. It seems like this issue is happening sporadically, so we might need a little help to find out what's going on in your file. 

What type of tablet were you testing? What was the original trigger? You can also share your .story file publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here.  I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
