We are creating a quiz, with one question on each slide, and would like them to auto number. Microsoft Word does this with styles, but I have not been able to puzzle out how this is done in Storyline 3. Please help.
you can create a number variable that displays on the master slide layout of the quiz questions. Remember to reset the variable to 0 when reviewing or retrying the quiz (from the result slide)
I appreciate the suggestion Wendy. The only concern is that if the learner is allowed to revisit a question, the numbers continue increasing with every visit.
is that if the learner is allowed to revisit a question
Do you mean retry the quiz? or review the quiz? Then you set a trigger on both those buttons to reset the variable to zero so that when the user touches the slides again the numbering restarts.
Thanks Wendy. A good and effective approach to a typical quiz. At the same time, we develop reviews that ask questions to reinforce knowledge. The scores are not recorded and to make them more effective learning tools, the learner is able to go back and forth among the questions. In this application, the question numbers would continue increasing whether the learner is going backwards or forwards, or jumping around to revisit questions.
It would be one thing if the system exposed the slide numbers as a variable (make the questions a scene so slides go from one to whatever) that could then appear on screen, but without this obviously needed feature, it's easier--and not all that time consuming--to just hard code the question numbers.
Thanks, John for sharing this feedback. I know a few folks have asked about slide numbering as well, so we're tracking requests for that feature and I've added your post here to that request.
We'll let you know any more information about if this is a part of our roadmap.
Thanks Ashley, for making this another vote for a feature request. In the past, it was frustrating--not to mention poor customer service--to ask a customer who has obviously taken the time to log into this forum and state a need for a feature to be told they need to use a whole different process to enter an actual feature request; as if Articulate employees are just too busy to bother doing this for a customer.

See this SL360 sample file

Is it resolved????
Hi Chandra,
We've yet to add this feature, but we're still listening to the feedback! Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.
If having this ability is something that would improve your experience using Articulate you can add your voice here.
Chandra,
Thanks for providing the link to add my voice! I just did! :)
Thanks for submitting your feature request, People Teams.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes as well :)
