New Rise feature: Custom Text Labels

Oh my goodness, I was just playing around in labels - Lo and behold - I found I could actually change these! And now I have watched your tutorial - thanks so much for adding this feature!

Great!  Thanks to the dev team for this!

This is fabulous news - thanks Team Articulate!

Great news. I love it. This is really helpful.

Right on! This expands the usefulness of Rise so it can be used for many other types of content from websites to communications, presentations and e-learning. Thank you!

Quick question - is there a way to override the title that appears in the browser tab? For example, say a Rise course has the title of "This is a course about mastering Rise" but when someone bookmarks the Rise course in the browser, I want it to be something shorter like "Learn Rise". Right now the bookmark or browser window title takes on the Rise course name and if I edit the index.html to change the <title> tag, it's overridden by the course name.

Amazing news, we were manually doing this in the published HTML, thank you for the upgrade.

Excellent!  I've been wanting this one!  Thank you!

Good question Stephanie - since the individual user can control what the bookmark says and how it reads it would be up to them to shorten that element within their browser. There isn't a way that I know of within Rise or our other tools to force it to occur - but hopefully if someone in the community has done similar they'll be able to share with you here! 

Thanks Ashley. Also just noticing if you change the labels for a particular course, those labels are changed for all Rise courses. Is this by design? I was planning to use Rise for a few different clients, each would have their own wording for the labels. It would be better if the label changes were for a specific course, like changing a theme color is, rather than a global change across all Rise courses.

Hello Stephanie - You can create custom label sets as you can see in this documentation.

So, if you did not specify to create a new set - you probably edited the standard course label (which is English for me) - so yes, you would see this across your projects.

Leslie,

Stephanie is correct. I just checked this. I opened one Rise course and edited the labels per the documentation provided. Worked as expected for that course. Unfortunately, now all of my Rise courses reflect the label edits.

Ah, never mind. I understand what you are saying now.  I didn't realize you needed to create a new set.

Hi Stephanie, thanks for your feedback!

We made label sets common across courses for two reasons:

1) In our research, a lot of companies change the text of something like "Course" to "Module." This terminology is common for every course, so having to keep changing it for every course would be a pain.

2) If you want to have a label set that's course-specific, that's no problem. Just hit Create New and you're customize away for that course!

It's best of both worlds! Hope this clarifies.

Leslie and Adam, thank you for the quick response. I totally missed the method of creating a new set. I've done that now and it works perfectly. In my case, I have multiple clients that have different reasons for using Rise that leads to customization of labels on a per course basis. Problem now solved! Rise is excellent btw. It's particularly timely as I move forward producing simplified learning solutions that hit multi-devices flawlessly. P.S. - my website is created with Rise too!  stephanieharnett.ca

Hi Adam, can I clarify a few points.

If I create a new Rise course and set the options to a new custom label set will all existing links to other existing Rise  courses now be using the new label set.

If this is true then the only way around the issue would be to export the existing couses and host elsewhere.

Also is there any way to upload a Rise course to Articulate Review to over come this issue

I hope I'm missing something here.

Regards

Doug

Hey Doug - so if your existing courses are using Label Set A and then you create a new Rise course and it uses Label Set B, your existing courses will still use Label Set A. 

Does that clarify it for you?

Thanks for the fast reply, I was hoping that would be the case. Thank you for clarifying.

Also will Rise courses be able to be uploaded to Review in the future?

Regards doug

Yup, later this year.

Great news , Thanks

Truly great news;  I have a few clients already waiting for this ability!  Thanks Adam...

Great feature, I just have one minor annoyance... When I view a process interaction on a mobile device I still get the button 'next step' in the bottom right hand corner which doesn't appear to be changeable, despite changing the wording 'step' elsewhere in the interaction.

Thanks Matt for reaching out and sharing that here - I'm seeing the same behavior you described, and I didn't see the "next step" as a label under the process section of the label editor and looked at changing the words "step" and "next" anywhere else I found them to see if it was combined - but no change yet. I'm going to double check with our Product team to see how to change that one and I'll be back in touch with you shortly!
