Help with Resume option
Nov 10, 2017
Greetings:
I am in need of expert’s help!
I am in process of developing a training (using Storyline 2) where users will need to enter their name and pick a character that will appear in various slides of the training. I would like to know how can I have returning users enter their name and character selection if they chose to go with resume where they left off.
To comply with our LMS guideline I will need to have the Resume option turned on. Many thanks for your help.

Hi there, Susmita. Do you need the same character and name to display if your learners resume where they leave off?
Or do you want to grant them the opportunity to make a new selection if they are returning a second time?
Hi Crystal,
Thank you for your response. If it's possible to carry over the name and character they have selected would be great. If no, I can go with second option.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the details, Susmita. If you use variables to keep track of which character they chose, their selections should be remembered when they resume the course.
Here's some information on how variables can help remember learner input. So for example, when they choose Character A, you could have a true/false variable adjust to true. And Character A will be shown on different slides based on that variable value being true.
Text entry fields generate their own text variables which can be referenced again and again throughout the course.
Hopefully you'll get some community input as well on different ways to design this idea!
Thank you for your direction Crystal! I will try it.
