Editing a text box within a slide layer

Feb 07, 2014

I have a ppt map of the US. As the learner hovers over certain hotspots that I have created, I would like a text box to display and within that text box I need to add TEXT.  I have watched numerous videos and do not understand how to do this.  Can someone please locate some directions that pertain to this.

I have an object trigger called Boston and I have a SHOW Layer when user hovers over it

I cannot figure out how to set up the text box display.

Hi Pat,

Are you looking to edit the existing text, or for the user to be able to add the text?

If you're needing to edit the existing text, you'll need to do so on the layer itself. Here is a tutorial on working with slide layers and triggers to get you started. 

If you're looking for the user's to enter text as they're taking the course, you'll need to include a data or text entry field.  

If there is a specific video that you need further clarification on, could you point me in the direction of that video?

Hello Lenore,

With your goal in mind, one approach is to place separate text on the Success and Failure layers and use a variable to track the number of quiz attempts.

You can test-drive the published output right here, and explore the bones in the sample file attached below. Let me know if this could work for you!

Hi Katie,

This was so very helpful, thank you. I only have one issue, the text (After 3 failed attempts, you will need to contact your Branch Manager for additional instruction.) is still not appearing on the results layer after the final attempt. I was able to customize the Retry to No More Attempts and it displays as designed, but the customized text, which is above does not.

I'm sure it is "User Error", just can't define where the error is.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a question. My project has an assessment one in English and one in Spanish.

Regarding my reporting I am only able to report off of the Results Slide for the English Version. I need to be able to Report off of the Spanish Results slide as well. When I click on the Result slide to report, I can only choose one. I would need to be able to choose both in order to get tracking, correct?

Please HELP?!?!!? :)
