Matrix of Slide Master/Feedback Master Inheritance

A little more explanation of the above request.....

See below a clip from http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/using-slide-masters.aspx#

Below the illustration "Layouts inherit all the properties of their slide master".  I have found it difficult to define "properties" in this sentence.  I know that similar to PowerPoint, you can apply fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc... that will roll out from the Slide Master to to the layouts, but what about Storyline layers, layer triggers, player triggers or slide triggers?  

Am I correct to say that these "properties" cannot be added to a Slide Master to be inherited by a Slide Layout and then applied to a slide within a project?    Or even added to a Slide Layout which can then be applied to a slide within a project?

Creating slide masters and layouts

A slide master in Storyline is actually a collection of slide layouts.  The slide master thumbnail in the left navigation pane will appear slightly larger than all of the thumbnails of the layouts below it.

Layouts inherit all the properties of their slide master.  However, you can customize each layout to display content in a specific way.  For example, you might design your title slide layout differently from your standard content slide layout, and you might design your quiz slide layout in yet another way.

Hi Rutwin,

I think you're referring to this section of that post:

If you've added triggers to the slide master or feedback master in your Storyline project, you may find that they don't work as expected in HTML5 output. Please review the following article for more information:

Although, I'm not sure I'm following the rest of your posts, if there is something else we could help you with please let us know. 

Hi Ashley,

I have seen the article you are referring to:

http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/triggers-on-slide-feedback-master-dont-work-in-html5-output

However, I have read through the entire knowledge base you are linking to, but haven't found any further information on the issue.

Since the problems occur so inconsistently it's hard to ask for help on one specific issue; Rather, I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on the slide master/trigger issues in general, and provide more details as to why these occur in the first place.

Simply not using triggers on slide masters when using html5 takes away some real benefits of these integrated functions in SL. (especially when building game-like projects)

Thanks in advance,

Rutwin

Hi Rutwin,

Sorry for the delay, I was out of the office last week. The use of triggers on the slide master and their use in HTML5 is something that our team is aware of, but I don't have any information about any changes to that behavior. I'd suggest if you'd like to share your thoughts on why this feature is crucial for your course development to submit a feature request. 

Back to my original question:  this was not in regard to HTML5 content, but content in general, even for PC consumption.

Janet, did you ever get a response that answered your question? I have the same question/problem. Thank you.

Hi Cindi,

This thread is a bit older now, and I'm not certain Janet is still subscribed - but could you tell us a bit more about what specific question/issue you've run into? The slide master can have triggers included on it, and they should work as expected on a PC - but if you've run into a particular problem we're happy to take a look.
