NEW IN RISE 360: Table Block
We’ve just released a super-useful new block type for Rise 360: the table block. Now it’s easy to organize detailed data and information in tables to provide more context for learners.
Here’s how ...
I love that we can use tables now, it was something I had even brought up before. But surely there should be a way of changing the format of text in multiple cells rather than one by one.
As a whole the format capability of Rise is archaic. We should have more control over theme colours and selecting these when changing colours of fonts and backgrounds.
If the format could be set at block level or course level it would save so much time formating every text block or line of list point or individual table cell.
I feel like Articulate want every course to look like the Articulate brand, but in reality we have our own brand guidlines to follow. How about making it simple for us to do this and look at every other program and simplify the formatting process.
Hi, Matthew. I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated by the level of formatting control. We work hard to make sure the courses you create with Rise 360 look great on any device. Part of that is providing default formatting for each block.
At the same time, I totally understand that our formatting isn't a perfect fit for every project. One cool trick you can use is to adjust the block settings to meet a particular set of brand guidelines, then create a block template from that block to reuse later. That way, you don't have to keep reapplying formatting options. You can read more about block templates here.
Back to your original query, there is a way to select the content of multiple cells! Simply select the text in the first cell that you want to edit, then press Shift+Down Arrow or Shift+Right Arrow to select additional cells.
Hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I know we can use the template function and we do to an extent, but we also want to create diversity between the way people intereact with each course / brand. If we template everything all our courses will look the same and people will get bored.
I understand why you have defaults but surely providing a simple function for users to be able to adjust that makes sense. I've put in many comments and feature requests around this in regards to formating themes, colours, fonts etc.
We have 6 licences and are creating courses for over 10 global consumer brands and are looking to expand our development capabillity. Simple changes to this would help make expanding and streamlining our capacity and efficiency very easy.
Thanks for your feedback Matthew!
Hi Anthony,
thank you for the answer above
Simply select the text in the first cell that you want to edit, then press Shift+Down Arrow or Shift+Right Arrow to select additional cells.
But where to find the merge option after cells are selected?Hi Andreas,
You can check out my colleague's response here which contains a nice recording on how to merge cells in Rise 360. I also noticed that highlighting cells in a table and then merging them seems erratic in Rise 360. We'll continue tracking the behavior and report back to our engineering team if needed!
