Looking for some Articulate Storyline 2 assessment related guidance...
I'm working on the settings for my course level assessment. I've been analyzing / customizing the Results slide and am pretty well set, but I'm stuck trying to prevent the learner from advancing to the next slide after failing the assessment. Although I have instructions present on-screen when they fail telling them to click the "Retry Quiz" button to retake the assessment, the Next button is still present and functional. I don't want them to be able to move forward without retaking the assessment. If I remove the Next button though, that will prevent them from moving forward when they do actually pass the assessment. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Hey Corey. Why not put a condition on the Next button.
{jump to slide}{next slide}{when user clicks next button}{on condition_____}
Your condition could be your assessment threshold.
And to assist with confusion for your users I would also recommend adding a small popup condition for those who click the next button if they don't meet your above condition. Something like, "you must score X% on the assessment to proceed."
That looks promising, Michael. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out and see how it works. Question - Is there any way to simply hide the 'Next' button if they fail the assessment? That way, they have no choice but to click "Retry Quiz."
Unfortunately in Storyline it's an all or nothing proposition (unless something has changed in v2 that I'm unaware of). That's why I use the little popups that let the user know what's going on. The only other way around it, and one I've used extensively, is to create a custom navigation. Then you can do all kinds of cartwheels with it. But, it expands your development timeline and project scope.
Storyline 2 does allow you to hide or disable the next button based on triggers. You can review the information here.
Ashley, I know this post is old, but...I used the steps in the link provided, and now my slides are auto-advancing after the audio ends? I still have my trigger set to move to the next slide when the user clicks, but for some reason, it's doing it on its own?

Ashley, you just made my day.
That will save me so much development time in the future! Fantastic!
Awesome! Great news for the day for me as well than. :-)
I just tried it and BINGO, it worked! Thank you both for your help.

Hi, Jessica.
I just wanted to link to this other post where I replied to your question, in case anyone else is following along here.
