Labled Graphic interaction: marker allignment and stange display of marker fields

Hi there Roland!

Thanks for posting your question here in the community!

You are correct that currently there is no feature for aligning markers on an image. Personally I haven't encountered a need to do that yet as I always placed the markers on various places on an image (not in a straight row) so it's actually the first time I see this use case with the labeled graphic lesson, but very cool use of it!

I would strongly recommend you submit a feature request for a functionality that would allow alignment of markers in a labeled graphic. We're always adding new features to Rise and hearing from our customers like you about what you want and need is very important to us. 

Same goes for the placement of the marker pop-up box. Currently, there's no way to control where it sits, as you discovered. I've also run into this issue where I wanted to place the text box somewhere specific so it didn't hide something in the image, so I've also encountered your exact issue. I have personally submitted a feature request for this to our dev team, but again, the more requests we get for a certain feature, the more likely it is to be implemented so I would suggest you submit a feature request for this as well! 

Also, maybe you can consider creating your custom interaction in Storyline, and then inserting it into your Rise course as a Storyline block. Rise is a much more template based tool with more limited features and functionalities in terms of being able to customize every tiny detail. Storyline on the other hand DOES let you customize every tiny detail. You could probably build this in Storyline with the Markers (and with markers you can place the text box that pops up wherever you want) and then insert it into a Blocks lesson as a Storyline block. That's another option for you! Hope this helps you going forward ! Best of luck!

Hi Nicole,

Thx a lot for your super fast and helpful reply. Super helpful to know, that I should add a feature request, no matter what. So far I skipped that when I saw, that my request was already posted.

In that case I will post the same request as you did, for the placement of the marker text box. And I can let you know that I have already placed a request for the marker allignment. So maybe you post one too to underline ... ? Whatever :-).

And of course I would like to use more SL interactions in my Rise projects. Yet, my project customer - our HR dept. - forces me to only use Rise interactions. Wired story!

Again, thanks for your input and best regards
Roland

Thank you for submitting the feature request Roland. Yes, the more requests we get, the more likely we are to implement a feature, so it never hurts to submit one. If ever you're interested in knowing what features are new to Rise and coming soon , you can keep tabs on our What's New page! Thanks, have a nice day :)
