Add Table in Rise

Hi Kristen,

There's no table feature in Rise currently, but you could create a table in Storyline and insert it as a Storyline block. Another option would be to create a table in PowerPoint and insert it as in image in Rise. I hope one of these workarounds will work for your project. :)

Hi Allison, is there any update on this? If not, can you please give me the link to suggest this as a feature?

Here is the link to make a feature request: https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request 

Hi Laurel,

Thanks for reaching out!

I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.

What is this table feature? (see attached) Currently I cannot use it. When I click it, it treats it like a normal text block. This is a pretty critical and would-be extremely useful feature. When will this feature be usable?????

And please, do not just say its on the roadmap... lol

Hi Tyler,

You know when it reaches the menu that it must be imminent ! It looks like someone was testing in the quiet hours and forgot to completely clear up afterwards. :)

Would be a good feature to have in Rise.

Hi Tyler and Ned, it looks like you found us working on the new tables block. Yes, it's coming out very soon. I'll post back here as soon as it's live!

Looking forward to this feature!

This is great news!

Looking forward to this as well!

I was logged in today and this is now live.

Hi Clinton,

I think you must have been logged in whilst someone was carrying out some pre-release testing as the table option is currently not available - I have just had a hunt without success !

Tables are definitely live

I will concede that it is half there !!

When it was being tested the other day it was only visible if you had selected a text block and then went to the drop-down list in Edit mode (see Tyler's image above). That option is now no longer available, so I still think it is in test mode.

I also note that there isn't an edit button next to the table when you insert one. Although you can obviously click on each cell and enter details, I would expect there to be various items in an edit list on the left of the page including things such as Title, Column Headings and cell entries.

Hi Ned

there are options when you select a cell  - are you not seeing this or am I misunderstanding you?

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for the update. I hadn't spotted all the options on selecting a cell. Looks like they've done a great job and I can now understand why there isn't an Edit button.

Hi Wendy,

I just realised why I didn't see the extra editing options when I originally looked at the table format. If you swipe across the text when you select a cell, which is what I did, you end up with the standard text formatting box instead of the table formatting box:

A simple mistake, but worth knowing about in case you are trying to help someone out and they keep saying that they can't see the table formatting options. The same thing happens if you double click inside a cell, even if none of the text ends up being highlighted !

Hi, everyone!

You all beat me to it! You can now add tables to your Rise courses! Here’s how it works.

If you’re looking for some inspiration on how to use tables in your courses, be sure to check out this article.

And this isn’t the only cool feature we released today! Head over to our what’s new page for the full list!

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. 😁

I love the fact that we can create tables now.  One point of concern is for mobile portrait view.  The text does not wrap properly in this view, especially when there are multiple columns.  Will this be addressed in a future update?  I am thinking there could be some kind of a visual cue to the learner to turn their device to landscape view when attempting to view a table on a mobile device.  There could also be a way to wrap the individual columns so that the table view on mobile portrait is responsive.  

Yeah I agree. Due to how bad it views on mobile, I won't be using this new feature. I'm surprised they have released it like this, when Rise is all about being mobile friendly. There are a few way they could make it more mobile friendly.

Here are two options. Adjust the browser on these pages to see how the tables respond.

Option 2: http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.3.0-beta.1/docs/tables/table-reflow.html

what am i missing here? i can't seem to delete any cells or columns. none of the edit buttons seem to do anything...

Ok it works in Safari but not in Chrome for me.
