Standalone Glossary in Storyline

Hi there Tara,

I haven't seen another one, but I have actually been working on something similar. So far, I've included the glossary as a tab option (lightboxed) and in a slide.

I'll attach what I have so far, but please keep in mind that this is far from complete! 

Hopefully this will help get you started :) If not, I'd love to see what you end up using.

Thanks!

Hi Chrisitne, this is fabulous!! This will definitely help me get started, thank you so much!

Peace out,

Tara

Hi Tara,

So glad to hear you like it :) I still have a lot to do with it, but I'm happy with it so far.

If you use this in a project, I'd love to see how it turns out. You're always welcome to send me a private message or post here on the forums if you have any questions or want to share your work.

Thanks and good luck!

Christine

Hi Christine

This is an excellent example.  Thanks for sharing .story.

Hi Jilo,

Glad you like it! I really enjoy recreating the Engage interactions in Storyline.

If you ever have a request for one, just let me know :)

Christine

Hi Christine,

Thank you again for sharing this interaction! I'm wondering if you can help me with adding my content?  I can't really figure it out - I'm new to Storyline and am having a tough time figuring out how to actually input my content.  I feel a bit sill asking this and I'm hoping you can help me out.  Thank you so much!

Tara

I think I've figured it out and it seems to be quite a tedious process to add terms and definitions and then to have them disappear when anything else is clicked.  Why was the decision made not to include Engage Interactions within Storyline? 

Hi Tara,

No need to feel silly at all! To be honest, I haven't really had a chance to complete this project. So, it's not totally set up for content. 

My plan was to include quite a few layers and triggers for the different letter sections and descriptions. It would be a lot of content :)

How comfortable are you with layers and triggers? If you haven't already you might want to review a few of the Storyline tutorials

Here's a good place to start:

Working with States, Triggers, and Layers

Hi Tara,

Engage is a separate product. You can import Engage interactions into Storyline, but you'd need to have access to Engage.

If you'd like to try it out, there is a free trial for Studio and Engage.

Hey Christine,

Thank you for your response and referral to the additional resources for help.  !  Yes it's quite the process to add in all the states, layers and triggers.  I think I will go with the 30 day trial of Engage, as I have a lot of terms to input into the glossary.  :)  Thanks again!

Tara

No problem, Tara!

I wish you the best of luck with the project :)

Feel free to ask, if you have any questions!

Christine

Hi Christine, this is a great glossary. Did you ever complete it and would you mind sharing what it looks like? Thanks!

Hi XAn! Christine is actually in another position here at Articulate and does not make it back to the forums often. I'll ping her this thread in case she has an update to share though

Thanks Leslie!

Hi XAn :)

I haven't had a chance to make any additions to that project, unfortunately. It's definitely something I want to work on, though!

If I make any updates I'll be sure to share them :)

If you happen to work on it and create your own version, I'd love to see it too!

Thanks very much and have a great day XAn,

Christine
