How to require a student to pick 2 days out of 7 before continuing
Nov 25, 2013
I created a calendar with checkboxes on it. I want my online students to check AT LEAST 2 boxes before the "next" button appears (they have to choose at least two days to "come to class"). If they only click one button, I want a layer to chow telling them to pick at least two. I am attaching a screenshot to explain. I have been trying to add variables, and it looks as though I have to do 21 pairs (M+T OR M+W OR M+Th, etc. for all combos of at least two). However (1) I can't seem to nest the variables - (M+T) OR (M+W) OR (M+Th) etc., and (2) even if I could, it looks so messy. Is there a shorter, simpler way to require a student to pick at least 2 items before going on?
Thanks--

There was no screen shot attached to your post, so I came up with one version that may or may not work for you. See my example (using a two-week period) here and the source file attached. I am using checkboxes and a separate layer that contains all the triggers needed to calculate the number of checkboxes that are selected. Hope that gets you started.
Hi Susan! Looks like Michael is assisting you here, just let us know how that suggestion works and if you need anything further.
Michael, that's brilliant, and exactly what I was looking for.. Many thanks!
