Dynamic Watermark
Nov 11, 2016
Hello,
I'm need to create dynamic watermarks in storyline and I can't seen to find a solution.
Here is how it should work.
Loading the StudentID from the scorm package I would like to use and print the StudentID a repeated number of times over the screen with transparency without losing the ability to click on the buttons of storyline.
Without making this with layers, so I can still the layers for more content and interaction.
What I have been able to do already:
I'm able to recover information from LMS inside storyline and print it a number of repeated times on the screen using the Reference and Variables from storyline.
I have attached a picture of how it should look. Thank's in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Hi there Leandro. I couldn't find any discussions about this topic, but feel free to also post your question in the Building Better Courses forum for some more traffic.

If you can do this, you have everything you need. Print it in textboxes. Set the textbox to no fill and no outline, and the user can click on anything on the slide.
Hiya,
thank's for taking the time to reply.
I'm sending a picture of how it is now.
As you can see I can't set the text to transparent. So I the water mark hiding everything in the slide and turning it unreadable.
Hi Leandro,
You can't make the text transparent, but you could look at setting it to be a light grey or something similar so that it's not as visually in front of the other text.
Try this
Is it an option to add this to your slide master? It would effectively place it on a layer behind everything you add to your slides/slide layers.
Hello everyone!
I have been able to achive what I wanted more or less. Not the ideal solution, but it works.
What I did:
I placed the text (the numbers I recovered from LMS) in the master slide being the last item.
Then after finishing creating my course I go screen by screen changing background and other needed itens transparency, this make the numbers show without breaking reading or the screen and let's me use other layers.
As you can see it is not the "magic" solution I wanted, but it works.
I'm learning javascrip and html now, when I know more I will revisit this issue and see if I can't find a better solution.
Thanks for answers!
Leandro,
I saw you got some workaround suggestions... May I ask why you need this watermark? I'm just curious.
Yeah, no problem.
You see my client use this number as security code. The number that it loads is the number of the student ID, so if the student take a print screen, place it in someplace they can identify who it was.
