How to restrict navigation in SL

May 31, 2013

Hi All,

In Articulate Presenter we can restrict navigation so the user can only view the next slide after viewing all the objects in the current slide.

Can this be done in Storyline? I don't see an option to restrict their navigation but i found restrict navigation in the Player settings on the Menu but it only restricts navigation when using the menu not the player Next button.

Will appreciate your help and suggestions.

Thanks,

Jyothi

Hi,

One way is to use variables (for example - True or False), which switch based on something happening, (for example viewing a layer), the variable switches based on an action, and the Next button is allowed to operate based on a Trigger that only goes to the next slide if the variable has been changed.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you so much for the prompt response.

I have tried using variables and got succeeded but it was a lengthy process. Is there any default feature/ option available to restrict navigation as we had in Studio 09?

Thanks,

Jyothi

Jyothi,

The point about Storyline is that it allows far more complex, logic-based navigation than Studio. I am not aware of any complete "object lockdown" option - the beauty of Storyline is that you can build what you need - it is not restricted and template-based in the same way as Studio.

I have used buttons that appear at the end of the slide. Then removed the appearance of the NEXT button altogether. It worked great.

Thanks for popping in to share the solution that worked well for you, Kerianne. That could certainly help someone that runs across this conversation in the future.

May I ask how you got the next button to appear/disapper? I have a true false variable using the completion of the audio that makes the next button change colors but does not appear and disappear. This action would be much more suitable for my customer.
