Yes, that's what scrolling panels do. Are you looking for something like this? Generally, you create the item to completion, then insert it into the scrolling panel, but with tables, you can insert and delete rows and columns, and change content after inserting them in the panel.
I think what I have is a scrolling panel and the fields got larger because of a translation from English to Spanish, any recommendations to expand the fields?
I was actually hoping to find a feature that behaves like the bug mentioned above: is there a way to set the starting point of a scrolling panel? I have a vertical map inside a scrolling panel, and I would like the learner to start at the bottom and work their way up to the top.
There isn't a built-in way to start a scrolling panel at the bottom. Hopefully others in the community can share a workaround on how they've accomplished this!
Hi, I'm having trouble getting it to actually scroll. I inserted the table into the scrolling panel, and I see on the side of the slide that it does scroll. However, when I go to Preview (and in 360 Review) it does not scroll. It's just a static image.
Here is an image from storyline, and then the image of Preview.
The table was sitting above the panel, not in it. Drag it until the cursor is within the panel and drop it. the table will move to align with the panel. You can tell if the object is in the panel, because it will disappear from the timeline, and move under the panel. You have to expand the panel to see it.
The panel was larger than the slide, so the bottom of it (and the table) was cut off.
I put an object on the layer to close it. I kept the "X" from falling into the panel (where it could scroll out of sight) by locking the panel on the timeline and positioning it. It is outside the panel, but the panel is unlocked, so you could easily lose it to the panel if you try to move it just a bit.
Hello Everyone, I am having a hard time getting my table to scroll in my scrolling text box. I see it is in the box but no scroll bars show up. Since it is so wide, I believe I need both scroll bars. Any help would be great! Thank you.
Tip: Although you can add objects to a scrolling panel that are wider than the panel, there won't be a horizontal scroll bar. Scrolling panels only support vertical scrolling.
There are some tricks that work with some objects to get a horizontal scroll bar, but they don't work with tables without a great deal of work and frustration.
Steps to rotate table in scrolling panel:
1. Create table using individual shapes for each cell, one rectangle at a time 2. Group table 3. Rotate table group 90 left (for scrollbar on bottom) 4. Insert table in scrolling panel 5. Group scrolling panel with invisible shape and group them. Rotate group right 90
I think your best bet is to pivot the table, swapping the rows and columns. Then you can use the vertical scrollbar.

Sure,
Just create your table, and then drag and drop it into the scrolling panel

Ok, I was able to create the table and get it to stay in the scrolling panel. Thanks all!

Hello Lourdes, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Sorry you're hitting a snag with overlapping fields. Are you able to share your file here so other community members can offer up suggestions?
Thank you Becca attached is a screen copy that hopefully will describe my problem a little more.
Click on the bottom of each cell and drag it lower. If you accidentally drag the table out of the scrolling panel, modify it and drag it back.

Thanks Ren. It'll be interesting to see if the community has a solution.

I'm not sure what either picture shows, but I'm not seeing a scrolling panel in either of them.
Maybe if you would attach the .story file here, someone could give you some idea of what is happening.
Here it is.
The issue is on slide 1.24.
Thanks,

The file didn't come through. That can happen if you post from a phone, rather than a browser.
OK, trying again:
Three things:
The table was sitting above the panel, not in it. Drag it until the cursor is within the panel and drop it. the table will move to align with the panel. You can tell if the object is in the panel, because it will disappear from the timeline, and move under the panel. You have to expand the panel to see it.

It is outside the panel, but the panel is unlocked, so you could easily lose it to the panel if you try to move it just a bit.
OK, I see what I did.
I need to practice doing this some more so I don't lose panel & obviously, my panel should have stopped at the bottom of the slide.
Thank you very much for your assistance!

Hi Walt,
I need help. If I share my storyline 3 file with you, will you be able to guide me on how can i improve it.
I am trying to be better at storyline.

Like Kelly said, if you upload the .story file here, someone will take a look at it.
How can I make this topic more interactive.
