Create a Scrolling Screen
Creating a scrolling screen on a Replica in Replica Maker lets a Learner scroll through content during a Lesson, and this article shows Content Developers and Instructional Designers how to build one, plus best practices and troubleshooting.
Before you begin
You add each segment of the scrolling screen as a cropped screen image. Download the screens you want to add to your computer and crop them before you start.
How do you build a scrolling screen?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | In Replica Maker, select the Button Add tool. |
| 2 | Drag over the portion of the screen you want to scroll. |
| 3 | Select [Create Group]. |
| 4 | Check [Is Scrollable]. |
| 5 | Select [Edit Contents]. Insert image here: s2_0X_img01_scroll-group.png — Replica Maker with a scroll group selected, Is Scrollable checked, and Edit Contents available; highlight the scroll group, the Is Scrollable checkbox, and the Edit Contents and Append controls. Alt: A scroll group in Replica Maker with the Is Scrollable checkbox selected. |
| 6 | Add the next segment of your scrolling screen in any direction. Add any element that should be part of the scroll group here. |
| 7 | Align the new segment with your screen. |
| 8 | Select [Append]. |
| 9 | Add elements to the scrolling space, such as buttons, by clicking and dragging on the screen. |
What are the best practices?
- Capture more screenshots than you think you need so you can stitch them together properly.
- Add all scrolling screen elements, such as buttons, inside the scroll group, not on the main screen.
How do you troubleshoot scrolling problems?
| Issue | Quick fix |
|---|---|
| You cannot add content to a scrollable frame | You cannot drag and drop or copy and paste into a scrollable frame. Add content using Edit Contents and Append instead. |
| Elements appear in odd places on the screen | The elements may be outside the scroll group. Add them inside the scroll group. |
What if the scrolling screen does not work?
Contact your Local Administrator first. If your Local Administrator cannot resolve the issue, submit a case through the Skyllful support portal.
