I am working on a course with 4 modules and the goal is for the learner to finish each module before advancing to the next. I have created the restrictions; however, I would like to display a message that informs the user that they must complete the previous module before moving forward...so far what I've tried isn't working. I tried to add to the variable that I already created, but I don't see any option to have a pop message displayed. Any advise will be appreciated.
Hannah, I would put a message on a layer and have that layer show if you don't finish all of the required modules. You could animate it or make it look like a pop-up box, just make sure you give them a way to close the message layer so that they can continue.
Use a T/F variable to track the completion for each module, and create a layer on the master slide with a popup message to let people know they must complete the module to advance. You will set a trigger to adjust the T/F variable to T on the last slide of the module and then you set the trigger on the master slide to, "Show Layer (popup layer) when user clicks the NEXT button (or insert navigation button here) IF T/F variable = F"

Thanks Linda! I will try that!
Hello Hannah. Is your course setup with something like a launch page?
Hi Hannah,
You could also use a slide and have it lightbox for a pop up message.
Hi David,
Yes. I have a launch page to begin the modules. None of the recommendations are working as I want them to. Do you have any other suggestions?
@Hannah, can you share your .story file here so that we can take a closer look?
