More bullets and numbers
Mar 02, 2017
Hi there,
I love using Rise but one thing that does frustrate me is not having bullets and numbers in anything but the main page. Does anyone else feel the same?
We have daily cases where we need to put bullets or numbers into processes, timelines, tabs, and accordions but don't have the ability to do so. We're trying to fake it, but it doesn't look good. I have requested this feature but haven't had any word on the status.
Can someone give me an update? It would make my day to know lists are coming soon!
Cheers,
Elizabeth :)

Oh yes please from me too! Sorely needed in Timelines, Accordions, Tabs please. My work arounds look pretty shabby as well.
Yup, we're gonna add more formatting to text this year including color and bullets.
Thanks! I need this too. I'm working on my first Rise project. I love what I see, but could also use the ability to add bullets, numbering, and even additional text formatting. Please release it soon.
Thanks Adam that's good to know. I'll be hanging out for them :)
I'm also very keen to see this added to Rise! :)
Hi Adam,
Is there any news on adding proper bullet formatting to processes, timelines, tabs, accordions etc? We've started building courses in Rise and this is a real sore point that crops up all the time. Proper bullet indents are super important for a good student experience so this is very frustrating for our team.
Cheers,

Agreed Mich - My team keep asking why they can't do this. Seems a fundamental thing we should be able to do. We have tried adding Alt Code which works ok for bullet shapes but the Alt Code (Alt+ 09) for a tab indent is immediately removed by Rise so there doesn't seem to be a workaround for it either.
Looking forward to some further advice on this issue.
Cheers - Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth and Michelle,
It's still on our roadmap for Rise, but we haven't nailed down an ETA for those additional formatting elements. We'll keep you posted here about any changes to that!
yeah, I need it too.. bullets, numbering, and even additional text formatting please.
Me too!
Any word on whether this functionality will be added? Our team would like to incorporate numbered lists (that are formatted the same as on the main page) and buttons within tabs, but still cannot do so. Is this something you plan on rolling out soon?
Hi there! You've got some interesting ideas, and I'm curious to know more. Let's tackle these one at a time:
Numbered Lists
Are you looking to add a numbered list to a tabs interaction that looks like the Numbered List block type, shown below?
Although the formatting is a bit different, you can add numbering to a Rise Tabs interaction by simply highlighting the text and clicking the Ordered List button. Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
Buttons
There isn't an option to add buttons inside a Tabs interaction, but I can see how that might be handy. Can you tell me more about how you would use them? What would you link to the buttons--another Rise lesson, a resource, or something else?
1. Yes, we want the numbered list specifically. We know you can create a different numbered list by highlighting the text, but we prefer the look of the actual numbered list element, as it emphasizes important information.
There are other components we'd love to incorporate within tabs, like buttons, in order to provide additional reference material for each tab panel.
We have found that tabs lend themselves to lessons where we want to compare things, such as when we show users how to look up the same information using several different methods. Users can quickly go back and forth between methods in order to compare them. Because we're trying to keep these lessons small, we like to provide additional materials outside the course, such as videos, online help pages, etc., that the user can go to if they need more help. We don't want to inundate them with information they may not need, hence, buttons would be useful there. Yes, we know we can have a regular link, but again, the visual impact is not the same and it's nice to be able to name and describe the button so people really understand why they might want to click on something.
We would also want to use buttons to link to other lessons within the course. Tabs are an extremely useful way to separate similar ideas, so we're looking to use them to the best of our ability.
That makes a lot of sense! I'll be sure to pass all of your thoughts along to my team. We're always exploring new features and ideas, and customer input is extremely valuable in that process.
Thanks for taking the time to share how you're using Rise and how we can make it even better for your organization! 😁
I realise this is an old thread, but what about ordered list with the alphabet? I would like a, b, c etc?
Old or not, we're still here Dennis!
The current options for a list are the numbered or bulleted lists, and within the numbered list you'll see the sub-bullets will pick up with a, b, c ordering. We're always interested in what else you need for your course design so let us know here, or share as a feature request!
I have a course that uses the alphabet as the first level of an ordered list. I have entered the list manually for the time being, but it would be good if we had a choice between numbering or lettering. Similar to what is available in MS Word, which is how I prepare my courses.
Thanks, Dennis. I know a few other individuals have asked for similar so I've combined all those discussions as a feature request for our team. I'll let you know here any additional information on it.
Please add a feature to have a lettered list v. numbers for outlines, etc. Thank you! The manual option just makes for too much spacing btwn lines. Open to suggestions though!
Thanks for your feedback, Sean! Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I'll make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
Thanks Allison - another numbered question: Can you continue a numbered list from the text formatting/wysiwyg? Right now it seems to restart the numbering each time I click on the formatting button. Some of my lists need to be segmented so I can add in screen shots, etc.
You can continue the numbering of a numbered list if you use the List Block, if that helps at all.
Thanks David - how might that work if I need to insert an image or a different block between numbers? I appreciate that the numbered lists have tighter line spacing -- not so if I fake it!
Anyway to do something like this in Rise? (leveled list/bullets)
