Using an external database to fill int veriable
Jul 30, 2020
I have a project where I want to pull information from an external database to Storyline.
For example: I have a database with 8 fields for each product.
First field is Company
Second field is Product
the next 7 field are details about the product.
What I want to do is be able to display the Company to the top of the slide with a list of products on the left hand side. When the user clicks on the product, the details will appear in a window on the right hand side of the slide.
I want to be able to add a product to the external database and have it available to the Storyline slide immediately

Hi Douglas,
Yes, it is possible.
How are your JavaScript and Ajax skills?
Does it have to be a database connection? Could you perhaps export an XML file, and then read that in with your course? That would be a lot easier to do.
