Myself and my colleagues have been spending a lot of time trying to add the correct triggers to force learners to add the correct text and or numeric values to our elearning and assessments. Can anyone help us please?
For TEXT entry, the "easiest" will always be an array of drag and drop choices (IMO). So much less work to setup. And you can create enough options to choose from that it is still difficult if that is the goal.
For NUMERIC, that's less troublesome. The numeric entry box is easy and you can simply set the slide to loop until they submit the correct answer.
Hi Jerry, thank you for this, unfortunately the drag and drop solution won't work for this elearning and assessment, the learners need to type the correct information into the boxes. I am sure there is a way we can do this, I just don't know the correct triggers to use!
Thank you for the numeric answer, how would I set the slide to loop?
Ok, great thank you! Do you want me to send a screen shot?
I want the learners to type either numeric values or text into fields, but this text/numbers needs to be correct. The way I have set it up at the moment, it is possible to type anything into the box and move on!
Here is a screenshot of my current question. I want the learners to type in 1000 in the numeric entry field (the dose for paracetamol), then click onto the oral box. At the moment then can type anything into the numeric entry box.
Hi Matthew, where it says 'frequency equal to 3.00" etc. Not to worry, I don't think I will be using this anyway. I will let you know how I get on with the data input fields when I can. I am still struggling with it - applying what you have shown to our system.
Many thanks for your help, it has been really useful.
Hi Matthew, I am back on this again after having to do other things! Just wondering what type of question slide have you used for this example - many thanks
Ahh, ok, can this then be incorporated in with question slides? This is part of a 6 question assessment.. I was under the impression that all my slides had to be question slides. Apologies, I am new to this! Thank you for your help

Thank you so much for this! I will have a look and let you know how I get on!
I think this may have solved the problem, I am just not sure about the counts, what do they mean? Many thanks.

Ok i think it is working without being a question slide, but in that case how do I add a 'Submit' button. Many thanks
Hi Linda!
I created a quick tutorial for you sharing how to add a "submit" button on any slide in Storyline 360.
Let us know if you have any questions!
Hi Lauren, thank you for this, I will have a look and let you know if I am successful
