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.
Hi Stephanie,
No update at this time, but I wanted to share some information on how we define bugs and how we tackle them when they occur.
This conversation is attached so that we can share any updates with you here.
In the meantime, the current workaround is to use Slide Layers instead of states to trigger a table to show on a click.
Hope this helps!
Any news on this yet?
So sorry you're facing this, Hour-Zero.
We've got this bug reported, but based on the limited impact, it's still an open issue for monitoring. I'll share your experience in our report so we can notify you of any changes.
Thank you for checking in!
Just to +1 on this issue - I've stumbled across it recently and I already have multiple buttons working to display their contents on selected. To change them all to layers will be a pain, and having one function differently is going to complicate future support within my team.
I'm dealing with numerous segmented boxes, and for each box, there are many infinitesimal alignment adjustments I have to make. Using tables would be a game changer (and it was much to my dismay that I could not change a table's state).
I was going to use a table in my activity as well, and then discovered that I cannot change the state of the table. Is this issue being looked at?

Hi Alan!

I was trying to do something similar but opposite. I wanted to have different states in a table, that showed as they roll over various hotspots. Then realised that it won't let you create new states in a table.
My workaround was to export the blank table as an image and bring it back in, then create text boxes for each of the table fields within the image. I was then able to create states on the image with the text boxes inside and update the content that way. Works perfectly
I also need to use states with tables.
