Expand the Rows Articulate Storyline 360
Hello All,
Could you please let me know how can I create in Articulate Storyline 360, the expand rows option when the user clicks on the + icon.
Please see attached sample.
Thanks a lot.

It's because the + is aligned using spaces, and the letters in the names are differing widths. You can select some spaces between the name and the +, and change their font size. You can get it lined up pretty close that way.

Nick,
So sorry. When I did this, I was confusing it with a request from someone else to solve a problem without using layers.
It can be done much simpler using layers, and the expanded boxes can have different sizes.
See the attached.

Hello Walt! I tried to add another row to the list for a total of four but I'm struggling with the triggers. It does not display correctly. Please I need some help with the functionality. Moreover, the plus sign at the end of row four it's not aligned with the ones on the top. Thanks a lot.

To add a new row, you need to duplicate the last row, add a variable for it, and change the triggers. Personally, I also like to rename the motion paths.
Changing the triggers involves adding the new item to the trigger list of each of the previous items. Go through the list, and every place you find two triggers alike, add one just like them that does the same thing to the new item. Then for the new item, change the references to refer to the new item.
By the way, this will only work if all the items are the same height in both Normal and Expanded state.
Questions, just ask.

Ohh I see. I duplicated the first row. I got it. Another question, why the plus sign is not aligned in the same location as the ones at the top? Thanks a lot.

Indeed with layers is much much better. Cool, thanks a lot Walt.
