SL2: Story/Scene View - Extreme Spacing

Mar 22, 2017

Is there any rhyme or reason as to why Storyline 2 spreads items so far apart in the Story/Scenes View? (See attached for an example) Alternatively, is there any way to bring things closer together within just the Scenes View?

When I'm able to work at home, it's not so bad as I can undock the view and maximize it across another monitor. When I have to be in the office however, I'm typically limited to either my laptop screen or a 14" monitor (no dedicated workstations in the office), which makes navigating a scene a total nightmare.

Thanks for sharing that screenshot, Sean. That's definitely odd that slides 4.3 and 4.4 would be so far off to the right. I'd be interested to see what triggers you have on those slides, as well as on slide 4.2, that might be causing that to happen. If you'd like me to take a closer look, you're more than welcome to share your file with me. You can attach it here in the thread by using the ADD ATTACHMENT button, or you can send it directly to our Support Engineers here if you’d prefer to send it privately.

I provided a short explanation as to why things may look a little funky, in the other forum post that you replied to, so I won't bog down this reply with the same details. However, I am more than happy to send over the file to see if anyone can take a crack at the issue. :)

Because it /may/ contain some sensitive corporate information I won't be able to post it publicly. So I'll kick it over to Support in just a moment.

Thank you again for your assistance!

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for reaching out! 

The story view does have quite a bit of distance there. It could be related to the triggers on your slides, causing the view to spread out. 

If you need our help to take a look at your file, we're always more than happy to help! You can share files to this thread, or you're always welcome to share them privately with our Support Engineers. We'll let you know our findings and will delete it after having a closer look.

Hello Michelle!

I took a look at the file and saw how there is quite some spacing in Story View! This spacing is expected behavior depending on the size and directions of the course. For example, one scene has 12 other scenes triggered so the spacing is needed to map out the path of the course.
