Hi. We have our courses setup so that the player is "restricted" and the users cannot just jump through the training. Is there a way to setup a "secret" way to jump to the final test? There are times that the training has not registered in the LMS and we do not want them to have to sit back through the entire training.
of course, you can always set a trigger fired by a keypress to jump to a slide. The real problem seems to me to be how to communicate its existence only to those users that should be allowed to skip.
Maybe you could separate the final test, and restrict its access only to those who go through the training.
Hi, Lora -- Thanks so much for reaching out and in addition to Walt's suggestions, perhaps it would be worth using some type of pre-test/test out option? A few discussions that may be of interest are as follows:
How would you do the key press? We would only tell the users who come into this issue. They normally contact us. I will review the other others but that was our first thought....unless all of you think there is a better way.
Now that I think about it a little more, I suspect the bookmark is set as a local cookie, and trying to walk a bunch of users through how to access and update that is more than I would want to tackle. :)
I didn't know if it was something i could do on the backend....I did not think that is going to happen.... :( We will probably just go with the trigger. Thank you for your help, Walt!
Hi Walt, Do you know if you can set a trigger to unlock the players menu navigation restriction to free, so you can skip to the slide you want to be on and then set the players navigation restriction back to restricted? I attached a picture of the setting i am talking about. Thanks!

It is just an ordinary trigger. I'd probably put it on the first slide, but I guess you could put it on the master if you wanted.
Thanks for the advice. I will take this back to the team. I think the trigger is going to be our way to go....
One more question....is it possible to manually update a bookmark? That would really solve our issue. Thanks.
It would, but I have no clue. You might gain more answers if you start a new thread with that question.
Thank you.

Hi Lora,
You can't use a trigger to change the player navigation method - it's an all or nothing setting in regards to always being free, restricted or locked.
