Best way to create a check list?
Mar 06, 2013
I would like to create a check list where, depending on the items you check, will give you access to ONLY the slides associated with the individual checked boxes.
For example:
"Check the paperwork you have already completed"
I-9 Form
W-4 Form
Direct Deposit
Say that the user has already completed the I-9 form but not the W-4 form or direct deposit. Therefore, the following slides will include the 2 forms that the user has not completed, and give instructions on how to complete them.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this? Thanks and happy day!!!

The way I might approach this is to use variables and conditions. So, I would create a variable called vI-9, another called vW-4 and another called vDirectDeposit. Then, I would ensure that the value TRUE is assigned to each one of those when the user selects the corresponding checkbox (and assign the value FALSE when a user deselects the checkbox).
Then, you can set a rule on your Next button. So, on the slide with the checklist, you can create some rules against the Next button. Here are the two rules you might use:
You would need to create the rules depending on your slide structure, and you would need to create a similar set of rules at the end of the slide(s) for each of the three paperworks that users might check.
Sounds like a doozy haha. I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks, Ryan!
Hi Mara!
Here's an example I created for you. There are a few ways this can be done (which is one of the cool things about Storyline), but in this example I used variables and triggers to change the states of buttons that will allow or deny access to the different forms. Here's a quick breakdown of what I did:
On Slide 1
On Slide 2
This is just a quick example, and as I mentioned earlier, there are multiple ways that this can be done, but this might give you at least a starting point for what you are trying to accomplish. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions! Attached is an example Storyfile that you can deconstruct and a link to the published sample.
Good luck!
