Get a form to show correct or incorrect input

Aug 19, 2022

I am trying to create a way for people to learn how to use software that involves inputting a lot of data. I want to give them practice data to use and have each text input show a tick or x depending on if they have put in the correct information. Is there a way to do this? I have been wondering if there is a way to set an "if" condition e.g if text box = set answer then show the layer with the tick?

 

Thanks :)

Hi, Paula,

Your "wondering" is on the right track. You can use a trigger condition to control when to show something.

Here's the User Guide info about conditions:

Something else to consider: Instead of putting the tick and X on layers, you could put them as different custom states in a base-layer object, and then change the state of that object based on the condition.

Another option is to put both on the base, and set the Initial State to Hidden:

Then change the state to Normal with a conditional trigger.

Those are just different ways to do the same thing. The "best" method is whichever one you prefer.
