I have a learning module with several short software simulations. I'm using numeric entry fields to simulate where the user would be entering numbers in the software. It was working fine, but now that I am publishing for final QA, the cursor isn't lined up with the entry field. So when they enter the number, it's in the right place--but the cursor is half a line below that! Given the software is data entry software with a lot of lines, this is a real problem. I can't move the numeric entry fields, because then the actual entry won't be lined up right. The cursor was previously (a couple weeks ago) positioned correctly, and I haven't moved the fields. I'm sorry I don't have a picture--screenshots don't capture the cursor, and I don't have software to record my screen outside of Storyline. Can anyone help?Solved20Views0likes5CommentsRise Scenario Interaction "Try Again" Additional Continue Screen
I'm creating my first scenario interaction with Rise and notice there's an additional screen requiring users to hit continue after choosing try again. So, they click try again, go to another screen that says try again and has a continue button on the bottom. Essentially an additional click per "try again." Is there any way around this? Screenshot attached and here's a link: https://share.articulate.com/f6kVeWFq54F_i4P5W8ToW47Views0likes6CommentsHorizontal Scrolling Bar 2025 New Method
We have been waiting for 1,5 decade for a Horizontal scrolling bar. 😆 While we wait, here's a new method that doesn't involve grouping, rotating and all that janky jazz. All you gotta do, is execute this JavaScript on a trigger when timeline starts. const square1 = object('5cIKSnWwBvM'); update(() => { square1.x = getVar('Slider1'); }); The object can be a picture, shape or a Group of many things. After this, create a Slider. Set a positive start number and a negative End number - that makes sure the scrolling bar scroll the right way (create a text box with the Slider variable in it, to fine-tune the numbers you use, it will make sense what I mean when you open the example project). I have added some shapes to create the illusion of it being inside a scrolling panel. Check the attached Storyline file for the codes and a visual example. Up next for me is to style the scrolling bar and make a custom background for it, so it looks like a real panel. Enjoy.401Views5likes9CommentsSuggestion: single triggers that can affect multiple objects, layers or variables.
Greetings, I would like to suggest triggers that can affect grouped objects, layers and variables, Storyline 360. GROUPED OBJECTS If you want to hide multiple assets in a group, you must change their states to Hidden for each of them individually. You cannot say "change state of [group 1] to Hidden", despite Hover states reacting normally. A single command that changes states to "all selected objects" would also be welcomed. GROUPED LAYERS Let's say you have a click-to-reveal in a secondary layer, not the base slide, that calls other layers to reveal text boxes. You must have a trigger that closes each layer individually, because you cannot close that main layer nor hide it. I'd love a trigger that goes like "close [all selected layers from this list]" in one single command. GROUPED VARIABLES If your slide requires variables that must be reset on every visit, you have to trigger them to reset individually. OI'd like to see a trigger that "reset all selected variables to their [initial values]", again in one single command. Please note that while you can choose how to display your triggers, you still need one trigger/"thing". Thanks in advance.24Views4likes3CommentsKeeping SCORM package small, best practices?
Are they any documents or guides that already exist for best practices while designing in Rise to ensure you don't end up with a massive SCORM file at the end? If not, can anyone add to this list of recommendations to avoid this issue in the future (for now, without use of an external tool): -Compress any possible video/ image assets and pay attention to file size as you upload -When designing in an external tool (Canva, Adobe CC, Adobe Express, etc.) make sure to watch your file size upon download -Be mindful of use of AI audio generated within Rise, larger file sizes -Be mindful of GIFS, background image file size, etc. Anyone else have anything to add or know of any existing resources for this kind of guidance? Additionally, any documentation from Articulate of how much size interactive blocks, custom blocks, or anything else that might take up additional data and need to be considered for usage would be very helpful. As the eLearning community drives toward more innovation, creativity, and interaction focused around a better end user experience, I am finding it difficult to navigate the balance of this with functionality without fully knowing the sandbox we have to play in (Rise current barrier, easier to see in Storyline).19Views2likes2CommentsFilter like Excel inside course
Hello, I am building a process-based course for people working in a laboratory. There are 9 different machines that are in the process the person has to use. I did the initial storyboarding in Microsoft Excel, because the process isn't strictly linear. For example: Turn on Machine A. It takes 30 minutes to warm up. Turn on Machine B. Do process 1 and 2. Turn on Machine C. Do process 1. On Machine B, do process 3. When Machine A beeps, you have 90 seconds to do process 1. So, when I job shadowed the technician, I wrote out the information in the order he does the work. When teaching someone new, he may want to do the entire process, but he may want to run it machine-by-machine, depending on the learner. With Excel, I have a column for the overall step process and another column for the step on a given machine. Filtering makes it easy to toggle between machine specific or full process views. For the moment, I'm building it in Rise with each machine as its own lesson. Long term, I think doing this in Storyline and putting some variables on each slide might be a better way to do this. I'm thinking I'd build the process by machine (in each scene). Then I'd rearrange the slides into the process order. The learner could then choose to view as full process or toggle for just one variable to be seen. Is there a better way to do this? What haven't I thought of that could make this easier?Solved31Views0likes2CommentsGrid and Alignment?
I am not sure what I did wrong but when ever I try to align and group shapes, icons or text boxes they don't line up correctly. I want to group a Shape, Icon and Text box together, but when I do it makes the "Group Box" twice the size than the shape? I am not sure what I am doing wrong? I have gone into the "Grid and Guides" pop out and I unchecked everything and I am still having the same issue?21Views0likes1CommentIssue with Storyline Slide Masters
I have a course with two Slide Masters (Storyline): One blank, used for the splash screen The other with a header for course tiles, page numbers, exit and menu buttons The majority of the slides use the second type. The issue I'm having, upon reopening the course to continue working on it, many of the slides switch over the blank slide master. While it's an easy fix, I have to run through every slide on the course and manually apply the correct layout. Is this a bug? Even more strange, I deleted all but one slide so that I could work on it and test it in isolation. But when I go to view the slide masters, it shows that the master is being used by 50 slides, even though there's only 1 slide in the course.22Views0likes3Comments
