I have 3 numerical entry fields on a slide. I want the user to enter values in all 3 fields before advancing to the next slide. I created a "continue" button with its initial state set to "hidden". I set up a trigger to change the state of this button to normal when all numeric entry fields have a value greater than zero.
This only works when the "NumericEntry" value is entered last. ("NumericEntry1" and "NumericEntry2" have to be entered first).
How can I make this work so that the user can enter values in any order?
I created a new variable called "Total". The values that are entered by the user for "NumericEntry", "NumericEntry1", and "NumericEntry2" are each added to the "Total" value. The "Total" variable is then used as the trigger for when to un-hide the "Continue" button:
This way, it doesn't matter which order the 3 values are entered, since each one changes the "Total". As soon as the third value greater than 0 has been entered, the "Continue" button is then shown.
thanks for this! is there anyway to have the continue button appear when the user has clicked into the last numeric entry field? right now, its showing up after you click outside of the numeric entry field (after you´ve entered something in there). does that make sense?

Hi Lis!
Is this the trigger you're looking for? Change state of Next button to Normal when the user clicks the Numeric Entry.
If that doesn't work, share your file here, and we'll take a closer look at what you have set up so far!
that works thank you!
