Formatting a Story
You can apply formatting to your story by using a template, which provides predefined layouts and placeholders for objects to help you build a story.
Procedure
- From the story toolbar, select (Layouts).
-
Select a layout from the list and select Apply.
You can select layouts from three categories depending on the type of story you are trying to create:
-
Monitor: These layouts can help you create a story ideal for monitoring you data or create a boardroom monitor. The layouts combine tiles such as maps, content, and keyfigures.
-
Report: These layouts can help you create a story ideal for reporting. The layouts combine tiles such as charts, tables, and annotations.
-
Present: These layouts can help you create a story ideal for presentations. The layouts provide the formatting and elements necessary to create a slide deck.
-
-
Select Add in place for each tile in the layout that you
want to use to create a chart, map, or table.
You can also add a specific tile by selecting and then selecting the tile you want to add.
You will be able to see the chart type that was used when saving the story as a template or in the predefined template. When turning the chart placeholder into a chart, the original chart type will be automatically selected.
- If you want to remove the tile from the layout, select (remove) in the top-right corner of the tile.
- Added layouts appear in the Manually Added section of the Layouts menu. You can change the layout by selecting it from the menu or add more layouts by selecting + Add Layout from the Additional Layouts section.
