I would like to link to a lookup table from Captivate and insert the value(s) from the lookup table onto a Captivate slide.
Can variables or similar functionality be used to pull data into a Captivate Project from a spreadsheet or database?
Thanks Bernie and Dustin
Yes, you can. But it will take a lot of JS programming. You might want to use some open source code using JS for reading spreadsheet. I have not used any so I cannot recommend any. But there are plenty of already made modules like the one that Dustin recommended you to read.
But before you do all that work, stand back and ask yourself if what you really need is reading a spreadsheet or if you could use a database instead. Reading from a database will also require coding but it will be easier and you will find more examples.
Here’s an article that leverages data in a JSON file:
Yes its possible we often used data from mysql databases in captivate projects but you need to bring the data in using javascript there are several examples out on the web
