Tabs Interaction problem

May 31, 2012

I've published a program with several Tab interactions. I've set the program to allow people to close the interaction any time. But I can't get past the first interaction to the next slide.

Please help.

Slide 8 is the first tab interaction. here's the link:

slide properties are set to "by user" for the interaction.

Interaction properties are set to "leave anytime;" show Next slide button "after viewing the steps;" button label "Next Slide"

Interaction is set to "Interactive" and previous and next buttons are not shown.

Hi Lisa,

I'm thinking the setting that causes that prompt is in the Presenter template, not the Engage setup.

If you

  • Click Player Templates (on the Tools group in the Articulate tab)
  • And then on the left click Navigation
  • Does the User Navigation indicate: Restricted: can only view current and prev slides

I ran a quick test, and that's what I came up with. If not, let us know and one of us will jump in.

OK...here's another stab at it. Could it be that if you wait until the time is up, you CAN then proceed? That's what's happening for me. I thought making a change in the Presentation Options button from 5 to 1 second would work, but it doesn't seem to be doing it.

In any case, can you confirm/refute whether slide timing (in Presenter) has any effect either way?

Lisa, I really think it's the restricted mode (Presenter template) that's causing this. If I switch to Free...User can switch slides at any time, I don't run into this problem. Can you explain a little more about why you need to set restricted and yet still allow the user to leave the slide whenever they want?
