• Minor update for interactive documents

Interactive documents 2.0.4

For interactive documents, standalone updates are performed. These may coincide with a minor or major release for iProva, but do not have to. This applies to both iProva on-premises and iProva SaaS.

We regularly release a minor update for interactive documents. These updates mainly fix bugs. They may also contain minor functional changes. These are improvements that make using interactive documents even easier and can be used without explanation. Larger functional changes are only made available in a major update.

Some nice changes have been made and bugs fixed in this release.

Caption to image

It is possible to display a caption with an image. This can be used for additional explanation or source attribution.

Navigate to linked block

When you have linked a block to a selector, you can now perform two actions from the selector:

  • go to block
  • remove clutch

Clicking on "go to block" immediately opens the linked block so you can edit it.
Clicking "remove link" immediately removes the block's link. The block itself and its content are not removed, only the link with the selector to conditionally display this content.

Tables

A new functionality is being able to add simple tables. When you add a table, you have the following options:

  • add / delete row
  • add/remove column
  • move an entire row
  • move an entire column

Text can be placed in a cell without formatting options. Images are not possible either. When a table is larger than the available space, a scroll bar will appear.

Multiselect

It is possible to select multiple blocks from the film roll at the same time to perform certain actions. We call this "multiselect". When you click a block in the film reel, you will see an orange box appear. As soon as you click this box, you will also see a box appear in all other blocks in the film reel. You can now select multiple blocks by manually clicking on a block one by one. By selecting a second block while SHIFT is pressed, a series of blocks can be selected. Once you have selected a block, an action menu appears in which you can specify what you want to do with your selection. This menu shows you immediately what options exist and what actions are possible for your selection.

Convert blocks to drop-down panel / more-info block

By (multi-)selecting blocks from the film roll, you can convert blocks to a drop-down panel or a more-info block. After selecting, make your choice in the action menu. After this, a preview shows what this drop-down panel or more-info block will then look like.

Pull-out panel

When converting to a drop-down panel, any existing headings are displayed as "heading 1" and "heading 2". By selecting these or not, you can determine what the distribution across the drop-down panels will be. A separate drop-down panel is created for each header where the header becomes the title of the drop-down panel. The preview is immediately adjusted based on the chosen settings. When you are satisfied with the result, make the conversion final by clicking "convert".

More-info block

Converting selected blocks to a "more-info" block results in all selected blocks being displayed below each other in the "more-info" block. You can see this immediately in the preview. Clicking "convert" finalises the conversion.

Divided into blocks

Drop-down panels and More Info blocks can be divided into individual blocks. When you have selected one drop-down panel or more-info block, you get this option in the action menu. A new block is created for each title of a panel and for all blocks in the drop-down panel or more-info block. A new block is also created for the title of a more-info block.

Merge blocks

Multiple text blocks from the film roll can be selected to merge them into one text block. The merged text block is placed in the place of the top selected block. Any links with selection buttons are removed in the process, except the links of the top text block.

Link to selection button

Blocks that are under a choice button in the film roll can now also be linked to a choice button using (multi-)select. After this action is selected, you can choose which choice in the select button you want to link the block to.

When you have multiple selector buttons in your film roll (above the selected blocks you want to link), you get the choice of which selector button you want to link the block to. It is also possible to unlink blocks in this way.

If you have a selection of blocks that are partly already linked, this is shown. You can then choose to leave this unchanged, or to link or unlink the whole selection.

Copying and deleting blocks

Using multiselect, you can copy or delete blocks. After you select blocks, the options to copy or delete are listed in the action menu under "other actions". Copied blocks are placed at the bottom of the film roll.

Split text block

It is possible to split the text in a text block into two pieces. You choose a location in the text from where you want the split to take place. Clicking on the "split text" icon first shows with a dotted line how the block is split. By then confirming the action, all content from the chosen location is placed in a new text block. This new text block is always below the original text block.
