Is it possibel to have 0 – 9 number tabs displayed next to A-Z for those glossary items that start with numbers and not letters.

Hi Jacques-

Good question. Numbers are currently not supported in the Glossary interaction, but I’ve logged this request for consideration in a future release.

Is it possible to hyperlink a word in a description to another entry in the Glossary?

Hi Dave- Although that’s not possible (please submit a feature request), you can, however, create an index page with links that go directly to a particular word.

How do I create an engage glossary without having to physically type it? Is there a way for me to “import” an existing glossary into engage? I have it as a word doc and that didn’t work, I tried it as a ppt and that didn’t work, I tried a ppt that I published to the web with articulate and that didn’t work. Please tell me that there is a way to import material into engage so I don’t have to re-type it. My glossary has 121 entries.

Hi Michelle-

You can copy ‘n paste from your Word doc into Engage. You’re also welcome to submit a feature request about an import feature.

Hi

Wondered if you could advise me what the limit is for glossary terms?

I would also like to ask if we could modify to alphabet tabs to others. For example could I use replace alphabets with shapes indexed glossary?

Hi Yee Ming-

The glossary is currently limited to 500 terms.

You can currently only use letters, but feel free to submit a feature request for other ideas you have.

The font size for the glossary entry is too large and many of our corporate acronyms are not fully visible and make it tough to see. Is it possible to either change the font size of just the glossary entries on the left or make them so the wrap to the next line?

AARON – I would like to control the entry font size as well. The only thing I have discovered so far is uder the interaction propoerties / glossary options you can chnage the term list width so you have more room for the terms – but then less for the content! If you find out how to chnage to font let me know.

I have created my glossary in Engage. I would like to add it to the top of my presentation to allow the user to click on it as a reference at any point. Does anyone know how I do this?

Hi Liz- from Engage, go to Publish -> Articulate Presenter and select the 2nd radio button to “Insert as a tab in the player.” This will add your glossary interaction to the toolbar (top right) of your presentation. There’s a tutorial on publishing at the bottom of this page.

I’ve created a glossary with more than 500 entries. To make this work, I’ve separated each glossary by letter. Is there a way for me to have someone open the A glossary, click B and it automatically open the B glossary without having to add a hyperlink in the B description?

Hi Jennifer- so basically you want to launch a new interaction by having someone click the glossary letter header? I’m not aware of a way to do that, so launching the new glossary via a link in the description may be your best bet.

You can also share product feedback with us here.

Hi, I’m new to Articulate so please excuse my ignorance! 🙂

What software to people need to have in order to view an Articulate Glossary? Let’s say I were to burn it on to a disc would people be able to open it without having Articulate on their PC?

Is it possible to host it on my existing WordPress website?

I love the look of the gloassary – i’m just trying to figure out how people would use it.

Thanks

Hi Nick- glad you like the Glossary! The output is Flash-based, so your user only needs Flash Player plugin in the browser (not Articulate software). And yes, you can embed the output in a WordPress site. Take a look at this comment for more info on that.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to upload my artiuclate engage to the wordpress site. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Dawn- did you review the links in this comment? What issues are you having?

Hello, Gabe

I was wondering how to present information through the glossary interaction without having it automatically alphabetized. In others words, I would like to place information in a speciffic order, like chapters, without the glossary changing the sequence into alphabetical order. How do I disable the feature that alphabetizes the information.
I have figured out how to disable the alphabets from appearing up top.

Any Ideas or instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie- it’s not currently possible to turn off the auto-alphabetizing (please submit a feature request), but you could get around this by using numbers in front of your entries to define your desired order. For example:

1. Zebra
2. Fish
3. Apple

Hello, Gabe

The numbering system is a great idea but, number 11 ends up beneath the number 1

Can you think of another unique or cool way of ordering the topics. I have been experimenting but, I am not at peace with any of the systems that I have developed.

Thank You

Hi Ronnie-

Put a leading 0 in front of 1-9, like so:

01. Zebra
02. Fish
03. Apple
…
10. Monkey
11. Lion

Hi aLL,

Can I adapt Engage Glossary for local terms, e.g. in Ukrainian?

Tank You

@Ivan: Sure, you can use the glossary in any language you’d like.

Dear Gabe,
Is it possible to lose the alpha characters displayed across the top of the screen for the Engage Glossary? We are using the Engage Glossary interaction as a “Resources” toolbar tab. We want Resources to be a toolbar tab because we want it to be available throughout our presentation/course, but we do not have enough topics to warrant an alphabet displayed across the top.
Thank you in advance!
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne – Here’s a quick tutorial that shows how to remove the alphabetic filter on an Engage glossary interaction. Hope that helps!
