Tables don't display in states
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a slide in Storyline 360 with several tabs to reveal different sections of information, each section is built as a state however I ran into a problem. Some of the states include a table, I was able to copy the table into the state without any problem however when I preview the slide the table is not visible. Is this a known limitation of tables (in the same way that they can't be grouped)? Has anyone else run into this issue?
I could rebuild the slide to use layers rather than states however I chose states so that I could include entrance and exit animations when the user switches tabs so I'm curious whether there's a fix.
Just here to add another vote for this feature! I have a table displayed with examples of a scenario and would like to change the state to allow the user to toggle between the examples and non-examples.
I just want to be able to change state of table to hidden or normal and for a particular reason I don't want to use layers. This should be simple is there no solution? Nothing fancy, just easier to layout the text in a table. any ideas?
I am wondering about the status here as well. I am working on a project to compare different product specifications (upwards of 50 products) and using a scrolling table for each seems to be the easiest method. Unless someone knows of something better to do???
Thanks for following up, Ron!
Sorry you've run into this. There is no news yet, but you're in the right place to get updated when any progress is made.
Would utilizing Slide Layers work in your design? I'm hopeful to see what ideas/workarounds our community members will chime in with as well!
Just adding my voice to the crowd requesting/wishing/hoping for the ability to change states for a table. I am using motion paths with triggers and cue points as a workaround for adding motion to my accessible modules. NVDA will not read the objects unless they begin at zero and end at the end of the timeline.
I would use a separate slide for the table but the lead-in information for using the table is only 14 seconds and a 14 second slide seems absurd since accessibility requires a NEXT and Previous button on each slide. I'm not inclined to add extraneous information to fill out a slide.
It would be great if I could simply disable the table for 14 seconds until I need it.
Any progress on this issue? :-(
Here's hoping and wishing.
Any updates on this? Currently have the same issue :-(
Hi, Ericson.
Thank you for reaching out!
This is still an open issue with our team. We'll update this discussion when we have any news to share!
I am guessing this is still not something we can do? The first time I ran into this, thought it was something I did. Vary frustrating it will let you build it but wont play it back.
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your frustration. I understand it can be upsetting. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
We'll be sure to update this discussion once we have news to share!
In my opinion you can better use a third party Javascript library to implement your tables in Storyline and/or Rise. Especially when you want it to be dynamic like my Feature Request System i build here.

It uses this Javascript library for its tables.
http://tabulator.info/
As you can see there you can easily style your tables and make all kinds of interactions with it.
Im gonna mockup a sample with it and will share that.As said i made a sample showing the power of Tabulator when you need tables in Storyline.

Choose a Style for your table by clicking one of the CSS buttons...then your table shows... and you can edit parts of it when wanted... eg. change the green/red active mark at the end of the table...
Storyline source file added...
