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 the table block works:
We think you’re going to love using this new block!
Can we have some more feature in the Table block option to add images, audio and video inside it, so that its just not part of the text block group but as a new group to work with different types of media types and layout options.
Hi, Rich. While you can't change the border color at this time, you can make it thicker. Select all of the cells, choose the cell style icon, and select thick:
We'll let you know if there are additional table formatting options in the future!
It sounds like you're interested in making your Rise 360 course accessible. While I don't have specifics on which blocks meet compliance standards now, our end goal is to get Rise 360 output WCAG 2.1 compliant by the end of 2020.
To help us get it right, we’ve hired Deque, a leader in digital accessibility, to perform a 3rd party audit for Rise360 so we have an accurate and comprehensive list of items to tackle. We’ve also dedicated developers to own accessibility on Rise 360 long term. As we have more details and updates, we will most certainly share them with you!
We're seeing that cells shift to the left when there are blank cells in a Rise 360 table.
Instead of leaving the cell completely blank, try adding a "space" by pressing the spacebar key. This should keep the cell in its place so the others don't shift to the left.
Can you select different fonts for text in a table? I am trying to demonstrate the different fonts as I build out a lesson on resumes. I have not been able to find how to adjust fonts (for example: set it as Calibri, Arial, Verdana, etc) Anyone know?
Hi Karl, Is this the desired feature behavior? I was just about to submit a feature request for a transparent table border, this enriches the layout possibilities and avoids "frame in frame" look, quite a handy option.
That's right, Irina. The table block was designed to have gray-bordered cells by default. Thanks for letting us know you need the option to customize the border color!
Thanks for those screenshots — I wouldn't expect the columns to be so narrow. Do you know if those learners are using mobile devices to view your course?
Would you be able to send us your course Share link so we can take a look from our side? If that works for you, you can open a case here.

Great question, Alphonso!
Simply highlight the cells you want to merge. Then, in the floating toolbar, click the Cell dropdown, and select Merge.
Hi ... is there any way to include Filters in the table headings .... like you can in XSEL?
Please advise. Thanks
Not at this time, Malcolm.

Thanks for your request, SibaPrasad! We'll let you know if we add this feature in the future.
Thanks, Irina.
I have the same question about altering the table border.
I'd like to make the border black and a bit bolder.

Does anyone know if the Table block is Section 508 compliant?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever resolve it?
Having the same table formatting issue as Amy Edmonds above. I've deleted the table and started a few times, but it keeps occurring. Any advice?

Let me know if that helps!
Thank you! That did the trick.

Hi Marie,
Just like any other text block type in Rise, Tables are limited to the two fonts you selected for the entire course.
Is it possible to delete the border color when you insert a table into a block within Rise?
Hi Katie,
A table will always have a visible border.
Hi Katie! Can you tell me more about what you're trying to achieve? I'd love to try and help!

Is it possible to change a table so that it isn't responsive? Some of our tables look very messed up on some user's screens.
