Flow charts in Rise
Hi,
I'm trying to create some courses in Rise and wondered how best to display complicated flowcharts.
If I simply use an image of the flowchart, I'm concerned:
- This will be too small for users to see if they are using a mobile
- How to add alt text for a complex flowchart image
Anyone got any ideas? At the moment, all we've got is making the image a labelled graphic and adding markers to explain parts of the flowchart.
Thanks in advance.
In the past, I have used the Labeled Graphic block for flow charts. I replace the image with the flow chart image and add markers to highlight each stage in the flow.
Within each marker, I provide an audio and written description of that stage in the flow. I also include written navigation instructions in the block above the flow chart.
Here's an example of a simple flow chart using the Labeled Graphic block.
Hi, you could build a simple interactive element in S360 and add the block to the Rise course.
Thank you so much for your reply.
I did think of that but I was hoping to do something in Rise only. I know there is the chart block where you can build pie and bar charts, but nothing for flow charts!
You could try creating it in Storyline and then adding it in using the SL block.

Can you tell us if you found a flowchart diagram in SL360? This is a great idea.
Yes, I too am looking for a flowchart in SL360.
I am having the same quandary. Does anyone have an update or ideas?
Hi Vera,
You can use the Embed block (Multimedia > Embed) to insert a flowchart created from a third-party source.
Below is a screenshot of how this should look like where I created the flowchart in flowchart.fun and embedded it in Rise:
You can explore other online flowchart builders aside from flowchart.fun. Most will have an option to share the flowchart and provide an embed link. Others may only provide the link. In this case, you can use this simple <iframe> code to embed the link in Rise:
<iframe src="flowchart link"></iframe>
Just wondering what the accessibility is like of flowcharts embedded like this or as a storyline webobject?
I would suggest use Storyline webobject for embedding of what ever local source you might want to use online. For instance you could create flowchart in visio and add to storyline as webobject.
Insert in Rise as storyline block, Remove the player interface and it will seem integrated in rise and you can keep any custom interactions / animations you have created in Storyline.
But i do second, that various flowcharts directly in rise, is +1
