There are almost as many ways to say “Hello” as there are ways to make Rise 360 content. That’s why we make it easy to export your content to an XLIFF file for localization into left-to-right languages and scripts with double-byte character sets. Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version. Translating into more than one language? You can make a copy for each one or try out the alternate method below. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab. If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content. To change the source language for your course enter the language code in the field. As you type, a list of available language codes appears. The default is U.S. English (en-us). Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Then use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file. If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. Don't panic! These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Got your newly-translated file? Great! Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when your text is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this course,” make sure you’re in the content from which you originally exported your XLIFF file. The XLIFF file is content-specific, so it can't be exported from one deliverable and imported into another. If you see a different error, the XLIFF file may be incomplete or corrupt. Download a fresh copy of the file and try again. If downloading a fresh copy doesn't work, make sure there aren't any blank section or lesson titles in your course. All section and lesson titles have to have content. Where did my formatting go? If you deselected Include HTML formatting in step 2, any formatting you applied to your content prior to importing the translated file is not retained. And let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab. For more information on how to translate labels, click here. Translate Training into Multiple Languages Need to translate your training into more than one language? One method is to make multiple copies of the course, then translate those copies. But we like this alternate method since you don't have to keep track of which XLIFF file goes with which training copy. Export your XLIFF file as described in Step 2 above and then duplicate the training so you have a copy in the original language. Translate your XLIFF file into all the languages you need. Import one of the translated XLIFF files to the original training. Duplicate your translated training to have a separate copy. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional translations. Voila! We find it's quicker and easier to just "overwrite" your original file and make copies. We think you will too!13KViews4likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Hiding the Player Frame for a Chromeless Design
Want to turn off all the player features and hide the player frame to give your course a chromeless look? Storyline 360 can help with that! Here’s how. How to Hide the Modern Player How to Hide the Classic Player How to Hide the Modern Player It’s super easy to hide the modern player frame. Just go to the Home tab on the Storyline ribbon, click Player, then set the Menus & Controls option to Off. That’s it! Your course won’t have a player at all. You’ll just see a background color behind your course, depending on the player theme you selected. When you turn off the menus and controls, it overrides the previous, next, and submit buttons for each slide in your course. And since your slides won’t have any built-in navigation buttons, be sure to add your own custom navigation features, such as buttons, links, or hotspots. How to Hide the Classic Player The Menus & Controls property described above only applies to the modern player. It’s grayed-out for the classic player. You can still hide the classic player frame. It just takes more work than the modern player. Follow these steps. Step 1: Turn Off the Player Features Go to Home tab on the Storyline ribbon and click Player. Go to the Features tab on the ribbon and uncheck all the player options. Step 2: Make the Player Border Transparent Also in the player properties, click Colors & Effects on the ribbon. Click the link to Show advanced color editing. From the Edit item drop-down list, select the following items and make them 100% transparent. Base >> Main Background Base >> Main Border Base >> Slide Background Step 3: Turn Off the Previous, Next, and Submit Buttons for Each Slide By default, each slide in Storyline will either have previous and next buttons or a submit button. You'll need to turn them off to make your player completely invisible. Go to Story View. Press Ctrl+A twice to select all the slides in your course. Uncheck the Prev, Next, and Submit boxes in the slide properties panel, and make sure all the player features are also unchecked. Be sure to add your own custom navigation features to each slide, such as buttons, links, or hotspots.887Views3likes0CommentsRise 360: Use Your Dashboard to Manage Content

If you’re using a learning management system (LMS), a learning record store (LRS), or both to distribute and track e-learning content, you’ll want to use the LMS/LRS publishing option in Storyline 360. Here’s how. Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Enter Additional Project Info (Optional) Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Choose to Publish a Slide, a Scene, or the Entire Course Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Publish Distribute Your Published Course Step 1: Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Publish. When the Publish window appears, select the LMS / LRS tab on the left. Enter the Title the way you want it to appear in your published output. (If you have a title placeholder on the first slide, the title defaults to the text entered in that title placeholder. If you don’t have a title placeholder on the first slide, the title defaults to the name of your project file. You can change the title of your published course here without affecting the name of your project file or the title placeholder on the first slide.) The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters; the maximum length for each output folder name is eight words. Use the Description field to define the purpose of your course. It won’t appear in your published output. Use the Folder field to choose where you want to publish your course—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Storyline 360 will create a new folder in that spot with all the files needed to operate your course. Tips: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output. After publishing to your local hard drive, upload the output to your LMS, LRS, or both for testing and distribution. Install the November 2021 update or later for Storyline 360 to send results to an LRS. Learn more. Step 2: Enter Additional Project Info (Optional) Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the Title field to define additional project information. Currently, this information is for your reference only. It won’t be visible in your published output. The Title and Description fields are the same as those on the Publish window (see the previous step). The image below the Title field is the course thumbnail. By default, Storyline 360 uses an image of the first slide in your course, but you can choose a different image. Just click the hyperlinked text below the image, then select a different slide or click Picture from File to choose an image on your hard drive. You can enter values for the Author, Email, Website, Duration, Date, Version, and Keywords (separated by commas) fields. The Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360 that your LMS/LRS uses to identify your course. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the value in this field. When you’re finished customizing the project information, click OK to return to the Publish window. Step 3: Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Use the Properties section of the Publish window to make last-minute changes to your course player and quality settings. The Player property shows the name of the player currently assigned to your project. (The player is the frame around your slide content.) To make adjustments to your player, click the player name to open the player editor. The Quality property lets you choose adaptive or static video quality and control the compression settings for audio clips, static videos, and JPG images. The quality settings default to whatever you used the last time you published a course. To change them, click the Quality property, make your adjustments, and click OK. There are now two video quality options. Select Adaptive to automatically adjust the video quality (high, medium, or low) to the learner’s internet speed and prevent buffering. Learn more. Choose Static to deliver videos with the same quality to all learners, which could cause buffering. Drag the Static slider to change the video compression. Note that higher values give you higher-quality output but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times for learners with slow connections). Lower values give you smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the quality will be lower as well. Drag the Audio Quality slider to adjust the compression settings Storyline 360 uses for audio. Mark the Optimize audio volume box to normalize audio throughout your course for consistent volume across all slides. Tip: If your course audio already has consistent volume, you can speed up the publishing process by unchecking this option. Drag the JPG Quality slider to adjust the compression settings Storyline 360 uses for JPG images. Click Reset to standard optimization to use the default settings: adaptive video quality, audio bitrate of 56 kbps, and JPG image quality of 100%. Step 4: Choose to Publish a Slide, a Scene, or the Entire Course By default, Storyline 360 will publish your entire course. However, you can now choose to publish a specific scene from your course or even just a single slide. This is helpful when you want to publish multiple courses from the same project file. Just click the Publish property, then choose the entire project, a single scene, or a single slide. Step 5: Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Click the Reporting and Tracking button to open the following window, where you can choose how your LMS/LRS reports and tracks learners’ progress. Click the LMS tab in the upper left corner, then choose a standard from the Report to an LMS drop-down. Ask your LMS administrator if you’re not sure which standard to use. Storyline 360 supports cmi5, xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, and AICC. Complete the fields in the LMS Course Information section with these tips in mind: The course Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360 that your LMS/LRS uses to identify your course. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the value in this field. If you choose xAPI and need to change this value, avoid special characters and spaces. For SCORM, the LMS Lesson SCORM Information section displays in addition to the LMS Course Information section. The values in the Title and Identifier fields default to the course title. If you have a title placeholder on the first slide, the Title and Identifier fields default to the text entered in that title placeholder instead. This Identifier appears in the imsmanifest.xml file for your course. The file uses a digestible name for the course Identifier, the unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the values in these fields. For xAPI, the following fields display: Activity ID: Your LMS and LRS use this value to identify activities in a course. The unique string of characters in the reference is the same as the value for the course’s Identifier (see above). If you need to change this value, use a valid URN (Uniform Resource Name), then upload the published course to your LMS/LRS for proper testing. Launch URL: If you plan to host the content on a server that’s separate from your LMS, you must enter the full URL for the story.html file. Language Code: This field isn’t mandatory, but you can enter a supported language code to change the language of the tincan.xml file. If you’re unsure, leave this field blank to set the language value in the tincan.xml file to und (undetermined). For SCORM and AICC content, choose your LMS Reporting option. This is the wording you want your LMS to display for learners’ statuses in reports. (This option isn’t available or necessary for cmi5 or xAPI content.) If you plan on reporting to an LRS as well, click the LRS tab on the left side of the window. Mark the box to Report to an external LRS, then choose one of the following options in the section called LRS Configuration. Learn more about LRS support. Supplied at launch: Select this option when you don’t want to store authentication credentials in your Storyline 360 project file or when you need the option to update the LRS endpoint or credentials without republishing the project. Learn more about supplying credentials at launch. Manual: Select this option to enter the LRS endpoint and credentials right in Storyline 360. The configuration details will be stored in your project file, and you’ll need to republish the project if you change them later. Learn more about the manual option. Click the Tracking tab on the left side of the window and choose any combination of the following options. You can choose one, two, or even all three tracking options. Whichever option a learner completes first is the one that gets reported to your LMS/LRS. Learn more about tracking multiple completion criteria. When the learner has viewed # slides: Mark this option to trigger course completion when learners view a certain number of slides. You can choose a percentage or a fixed number. Then decide which slides get counted—all slides or just those with slide numbers. Learn more about tracking slides viewed. When the learner completes a quiz: Mark this option to track learners based on their quiz results. You can let Storyline 360 keep track of multiple quizzes and send results to your LMS/LRS for the first quiz each learner completes. Learn more about tracking quizzes. (This option will be grayed-out if your course doesn’t have any result slides.) Using triggers: Mark this option to track learners based on course completion triggers you added to your course. (This option is grayed-out if your course doesn’t have any completion triggers.) Click OK to save your changes. Step 6: Publish When you’re finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options. View Project This launches the published course in your default web browser. However, it’s best to upload the published course to your LMS/LRS for proper testing. Email This opens a new email message with a zipped file of your published course attached. This option is helpful if you need to send your course to an LMS/LRS administrator for deployment. FTP This opens a window where you can enter your FTP credentials and transfer your output to a server. Zip This creates a zipped version of your course files in the same location where your course was published. This is the most common choice when you publish for LMS/LRS. Upload the zipped course to your LMS/LRS. Open This opens a file viewer where you can see the files Storyline 360 just created. There will be multiple files and folders for a published course. Tip: If your LMS requires you to identify the file that launches your course, point to index_lms.html . Step 7: Distribute Your Published Course Now that you’ve published your course, it’s time to upload it to your LMS/LRS. The steps for this are different for each LMS/LRS. Contact your LMS/LRS administrator if you need help uploading, launching, or tracking content.9.8KViews1like0CommentsStoryline 360: Working with the Clipboard

(A right-click option isn’t available for scenes or slide objects.) Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the drop-down arrow beside Copy, and choose Duplicate. Format Painter In Slide View, the clipboard includes a special feature called the format painter. It lets you quickly copy formatting from one object to another, including text formatting, fill, outline, shadow, and other effects. Here's how: Select the object whose formatting you want to copy. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Format Painter. Your cursor will change into an arrow with a paintbrush to let you know that the format painter is active. Click another item where you want to use the same formatting. The formatting is duplicated on the new object, and the format painter automatically turns itself off. Tip: When you double-click the Format Painter button, it'll remain active until you turn it off. This lets you apply the same formatting to multiple objects. To turn the format painter off, just click it again or press the Esc key on your keyboard.396Views1like0CommentsStoryline 360: Replacing Fonts

Make exploring 360° images dynamic and exciting. Manage how learners start and navigate your interaction. Setting the Initial View Choosing Navigation Options Excluding Markers and Hotspots from Progress Tracking Setting the Initial View Set the opening view of your interaction. In the 360° image editor, go to the Interaction tab, click Edit, then move the camera to your preferred angle. As you move the camera, the latitude and longitude units at the bottom of the 360° image dynamically update with the exact coordinates. Click Set to save your changes. Click Reset to return to the original view. Click Cancel to discard your changes. Tip: To center the opening view around an interactive element, click the hotspot or marker on the Markers & Hotspots panel. Choosing Navigation Options Choose how learners navigate your interaction—freely or in a guided tour. In the 360° image editor, go to the Markers & Hotspots panel, then choose either Free navigation or Guided tour as the navigation mode. Free navigation is great for letting learners explore interactive elements as they wish. Mark the Show progress indicator box to help learners keep track of their progress. A guided tour is perfect for directing learners through a specific set of interactive elements. It presents markers and hotspots one by one in the sequence you specify in the Markers & Hotspots panel. Just drag the interactive elements to your preferred order. A progress indicator always displays at the bottom of the guide-tour interaction. Pro Tips: Use hotspot hints to help learners easily find hotspots in your guided-tour interactions. Give learners bite-sized info when they hover over markers and hotspots in your free-navigation interactions. Excluding Markers and Hotspots from Progress Tracking By default, markers and hotspots get automatically counted in the progress indicator for free-navigation interactions. For example, a learner’s progress might show "1 of 5 visited" after clicking the first interactive element in an interaction that has a total of five markers and hotspots. However, you can exclude specific markers or hotspots from the overall progress count, giving you more flexibility in defining what’s tracked. Just install the January 2022 update or later, then follow these steps. In the 360° image editor, make sure that you’re using free navigation mode. In the Markers & Hotspots panel, hover over the marker or hotspot you’d like to exclude. Click the ellipsis (…) that appears and mark the Exclude from progress count box. The marker or hotspot now displays a dashed border in the Markers & Hotspots panel indicating that it’s excluded.441Views1like0CommentsReach 360: How to Search For Content in Courses
The search field is available only in courses. Once you’ve started a course, select the Search icon in the sidebar (if available). Enter the term you want to search for and press the Enter key. The results populate in the sidebar underneath the search field, along with the number of times the term appears in each lesson. Select a result to jump to the lesson that contains the search term. As long as what you searched for isn’t part of a hidden text block (see the note below), you’ll see it highlighted in the lesson. To return to normal sidebar navigation, click the Close icon in the search field or press the ESC key. Note: Hidden text and sections beyond continue blocks that haven’t been completed are contained in the search results. To see the hidden content, complete any necessary tasks in the lesson. If the author has set navigation mode to restricted or turned off the sidebar, it won’t be visible for that course.261Views1like0Comments
