To change dimensions, click on the "Design" tab, then click on the "Story Size" icon (far left under the Articulate logo). There is no box to check in order to change your project to Portrait - but all you have to do is trade the two numbers in the dimension field. You will need to uncheck the "lock aspect ratio" button (you can re-check it when you are done).
One warning though - set your story size at the beginning - BEFORE you add content - because it is going to resize everything to fit the new dimensions. If you already have a project started, I think I would create the new blank project, and then copy/paste everything over from the original file to the new one.
Is it possible to have just one slide be portrait? As learners go through the course, they'll be answering review questions that will be populating a summary "sheet" that they can then print up at the end. I'd like to have that slide be a portrait lay out...I have it a separate scene hoping it wouldn't apply my layout changes to the rest of the course, but alas...I'm using Articulate 360. Thanks so much!
The orientation of the slides is an overall course setting and design.
Are you looking for a portrait layout to have all the questions appear on one page? If you're using the built in question types and a results slide (you can remove all mention of a score) you could use the print results button. That'll generate a new HTML page that users can print out - and then they'd be able to use the browser print functionality. That would often default to a portrait printing mode.
Let me know if that helps or if you come up with another creative solution that would help the community!
I am using the results slide and assumed when they click print that the results slide would actually print up...if that's not the case then I need to play with it some more. I've actually never put in a print results trigger so not 100% sure how it works yet :) Thanks!
The print results button and function on the results slide will generate an HTML page with the results but the user will still need to select where and how they'll print it. So another way to look at this, is the print results gives a better output to print - but does not communicate directly to your printer.
I've played with the results page option and it's not working for what I need...at least not the way I've been trying to work with it. I'm trying to create an opportunity for learners to review various resources throughout the course and then make their own guided notes from those resources (learners will be in different regions so that their answers would differ) This is why I was hoping to use text boxes and references since I can't validate their answers. In my mind I was just going to reference their text box input in the last slide (that I'd have formatted with references in designated spots, and have them print that last slide as a neatly organized summary that they've helped build. (see below for a couple of sample headers I was going to make on the summary slide)
Now, at this point I don't mind the slide being landscape to try and work with the textbox/reference option (I can get creative and make it work visually), but I'd like to figure out a way to make it so the slide prints up full page (or at least bigger on the page. The java script I found in one of the forums, that I can add to a button, printed up a small image of the slide on my page. Any suggestions on a java script that would make the slide fill up a page? This may be outside the scope of the support you can provide so I totally understand if it's not something you can provide.

Hey Gary! Sorry for the delay - I didn't want to respond and send e-mails unnecessarily. You should be unsubscribed now :) So, now I'm not sure if you'll see this or not. Hope that helped, please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank You - Jill !!!!
It works.

Does the Articulate Mobile Player support portrait view?
Rob
No, it doesn't support it all!
Hi Fabio,
Just in case you were looking for more information about the mobile player I wanted to point you to this comparison chart of Flash, HTML5, and Mobile player output.

Hey Liz! Thanks for all of those details. We have lots of Java-savvy members in this community who can definitely point you in the right direction. 😀

Oh no Gary! Can I confirm that the top of this thread doesn't show you as subscribed?
It should look like this:
If that looks correct, then we will get the team to dive a bit deeper.
Thanks so much!
It doesn't show me as a subscribed.
I tried blocking, and that doesn't work currently.
Thank You
