Have to double click button

Aug 28, 2020

I'm building a quiz and during the review results section I'm covering up the standard Incorrect bar with a custom version because the client doesn't like making the user have to click the tiny X and then click Submit just to advance. The new bar just has a Continue button. I have the Continue button mimic the Submit button which works except that you have to click the Continue button twice.

Any idea why this is happening. Or if there's a better way to accomplish what I want. Thanks

I had trouble editing your file so I started over with my own questions.  In a worst case scenario you may have to build your questions again form scratch or edit mine.

For each question I have a text variable (QX) where X= question number, for example, Q1).  The triggers for the custom Submit button on the screen are in this order:

  1. The variable is changes to "Correct" when the learner clicks the Submit button if the state of the radio button associated with the correct answer is Equal to Selected".
  2. The variable is changes to "Wrong" when the learner clicks the Submit button if the state of the radio button associated with the correct answer is Not Equal to Selected".
  3. Submit True/False when users clicks the Submit button;

I have two triggers on timeline start for the quiz question slides.

Show layer Correct if QX = Correct
Show layer Further Review if QX = Wrong

On the Correct layer I have a big white box to hide the base layer to prevent unwanted visuals.  If jumps to the next slide when the layer starts

The Further Review layer has the custom lower third and a next button the jumps to the next slide when the learner clicks.

I repeat all the above for each question.

The results slide has a standard base layer.

The success layer is standard too except that I have a white shape hiding the Review Quiz button on the base layer

The failure layer has a custom Try Again button.  The order of triggers is important here:

Create 1 of these triggers for each QX variable:
Set QX to value (blank) when the learner clicks the Try Again button if QX = Wrong

After all the QX variable triggers add two triggers:

Reset Results (only incorrect questions)
Jump to slide (first question)

Here is the sample file in action:  I left the variables and correct question count on the slides so you can see how they work.  It's also easier to troubleshoot.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your file! It looks like you're headed in the right direction by using the built-in functionality of the Review layer!

After some testing, I noticed the additional states of Down, Visited, and Disabled were causing issues with submission and are unnecessary.

Feel free to remove those from the Continue button, and if another step is needed, you can also change the trigger to Jump to next slide instead of Submit interaction, since you're just reviewing the quiz.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks Andrew,

Getting rid of the unneeded button states fixed my problem.

I tried switching to Jump to next slide instead of Submit Interaction and though it works, it walks through all of the successive slides both Correct and Incorrect. I want to only show the user their Incorrect answers. Using Submit Interaction accomplishes that so I'd like to keep using it as long as it doesn't cause me trouble in some other area.
