How to add page numbers in Storyline2

Hi Meera,

see the attached example.

Ive set a variable and in the master added triggers to +1 when user clicks the next button and to -1 when they click the previous button.

Hi, Meera -- Thanks for reaching out, and in addition to the suggestion Darren has provided, I thought you may want to check out this discussion, as well: Inserting Storyline Slide Numbers. :)

Thanks for your reply Darren & Christie. It is useful to me. Still I have some issue on this. I have 46 slides in my presentation. In second slide I have manually inserted "Proceed button" instead of "next" button and Previous button is there. In master slide, I have done trigger to +1 when user clicks the next button and to -1 when they click the previous button. Again come back to my second slide and have given trigger separately for "Proceed" button  and the same condition implemented here. But still, after publishing it is not increasing slide number when I clicked on "Proceed" button. for 3rd slide also it is showing "slide number2" only.

should I follow any other way for fixing this issue?

Thanks,

Meera.C

And, if  want to though the module by using Automatic option. How can I set trigger for page numbers. :-)

Hi Meera

can you upload your story file - might be easier for someone to help if they can look at the setup

Hi,

I have attached the sample story here. Please find the same.

And please help me anyone to a solution for the below points.

1. Instead of "Next Button" I inserted Proceed button manually. When I click the Proceed button, it should change the Page number. ( here I used "By user" option)

2. I need solution for "Automatically decide" option also. When it is moving to next slide automatically it should change the page number.

3. It should appear page number for both "(Prev,Next) button control & Menu title bar "control.

4. How to display "Course duration" in a module. After publishing the module, I should see the course duration near to module title.

Thanks,

Meera.C

HI Meera

it was your trigger order on the proceed button - you had it jumping to another slide before it did the add +1 to the variable plus you had two add+1 variables on the proceed button.

It nows goes 1,2,3, 4, 5 - here are the triggers on the proceed button.

Super HERO Wendy to the rescue!  :)

Meera, please take a look at the solution Wendy has shared and let us know if you are all set, or if you still need more help! 

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your support. Now it is changing the slide numbers properly.

And, One more clarification, In the same presentation e.g.: while seeing the 4th slide...  I have a doubt. so I want to see/come back to  the 2nd slide once again. Instead of using PRV, Next button, I'm navigating the slides  from menu bar. It's  navigating the slide. But here, the page number still showing the last visited page. can we change the slide number here..??. If possible, please share that also. ( when we used Articulate studio, that option is there. Even if we navigate through menu, or play back buttons for both, the page number will change.) . Do you have any suggestion for this??  :-)     I have attached the screenshot for your reference. please find the same.

Hi Meera, 

Since you're controlling the slide number there using a variable you'd need to look at ways in which you could modify the variable based on how the user has navigated back to that slide. Since Storyline is not set up to always have a linear navigation as Studio does, the page numbers aren't built in and have to be controlled by the custom variables as Wendy has shown. 

Ok. Thanks for your clarification.. Ashley!! ..

this discussion was just what I needed to add this to my programs. Thank you

Glad to hear that this thread was able to assist you as well Daniel. Thanks for popping in to share and let us know if you need anything further.
