Help with branching

Hi Mark!

Would you be able to share your .story file with us to take a look?

Hi, Mark -- Many thanks for your question! Have you had an opportunity to review this information on Choosing Feedback and Branching Options in SL2? You may also find this article, 6 Sweet Branching Scenario Examples, to be a great resource for inspiration. 

And if you could share your file, it might be easier for others in the community to take a closer look at your set up and make some suggestions to help you achieve what you have in mind. :)

And Mark, would you also be able to share a link or more information regarding where you stated, "similar to the kayak shop exercise on the course"? I did a quick search and I was not able to find anything related, so I was hoping that might help us have a more clear idea of what you are going for here. 

Hi there, this is an example of what I am trying to do.  I am trying to branch to other layers.  I think I have solved the problem - can I only branch to another slide?

I've been able to do this now, but am a bit confused as I thought you could branch to other scenes.

(the Kayak shop was an exercise I did on the recent Omniplex Training Course).

Hi Mark!

You could set triggers in the slide view to show the layers as needed.

You would not be able to branch to the slide layers when choosing feedback/scoring by choice in the form view though.

Hi Mark!

On second thought - I realized that you may have created those layers on your own.

If you add feedback to the Choices in Form View:

This creates layers by default and will pop up automatically:

I apologize for totally over-thinking that one.

Thanks Leslie that's helpful and I see how to set up the feedback layers.  (I had added the other layers myself)

However that in itself hasn't solved my problem.  I want to give quite extensive feedback in respect of each choice and although I gather I can edit the automatic feedback response (ideally I'd get rid of it altogether on this slide).   I can't seem to do this on the slide - Do I have to do this through the feedback master, and if so does it disable the automatic function for all the slides in my project?

I've come across a similar issue here https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-2-editing-feedback-layers

I have found a way round my problem which is just to set up additional slides to give the feedback, but it seems neater to work with layers where possible.

Apologies if I'm being dim, but I am new to this and my brain is addled after a day on Storyline!

Any help gratefully received.

Hi Mark!

Yes, I think Feedback Masters will assist in what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks Leslie - that has helped.

It still seems easier to set the feedback up on separate slides with my own triggers.  Is there any particular advantage of using layers rather than lots of slides (other than tidiness)?

Mark

Just user preference I think. Branching still has to be established regardless :)

If you check out the tutorial, layers are intended to do just that 'layer' on top of a base if needed.

Others in the community may have other opinions on this and hopefully they will chime in if so.
