Issue with menu - common slide in 2 different branches

Hi Rob, 

This is perhaps not what you are looking for but, my solution (after testing around) is to have two identical common slides and each role pointing accordingly which works for the menu flow.

The menu was probably hitting the first "common Slide" selection because they have identical names.

Thanks Alexander - I guess the goal is to not have to duplicate slides.  

In the real course, there are many common slides, what I don't want to have to worry about is having 15 duplicate slides, so if there is ever a change in a slide - I have to make the change two times.

Also I have a situation where there are 3 roles and many common slides - so you can see how easily things can get out of hand:)

Hi Rob

place a T/F variable on each of the slides before the common slide.  When the learner gets to the common slide branch to the required slide using a combination trigger of the previous unique variables.  This can be used throughout the project as you progress just keep referencing the combination of variables to manage the path. I've just completed a project with 16 complicated pathways - works a treat.

if role 1 slide 1 

= true then jump to slide role 1 slide 2,

If role 2 slide 1

= true then jump to slide role 2 slide 2

 Hope that helps - shout out if you need help

I have the branching part working fine....the issue is w/ the menu.

Take a look at the story file I attached and publish it to see what i mean.

It issue is what you go from role 1 to the common slide - the menu shows the common slide in the role 2 menu list

HI Rob,

Did you ever get your issue resolved regarding the menu?  I am having the same exact issue and was hoping to find a workaround.  Let me know if you were able to figure something out.

Thanks,

Carrie

Hi Carrie! Not sure if Rob reached resolution here. Hopefully he is still subscribed to this thread as it wasn't that long ago, but in case you do not hear from him soon you are welcome to utilize the Contact Me option on his user profile.

Carrie - nope - never got it resolved.

I ended up just doing one menu and locking it down and have it jump around.

I was not happy with it at all - but creating 15+ duplicate slides was just not an option.

Please let me know if you find a workaround.

Thanks

Thanks and if I find any kind of workaround  I will definitely let you know!  ;)

Thanks for popping back in Rob :)

Hello, I am also interested in a workaround for this. I am currently testing a possibility to use my own menu and define variables for displaying elements in it. If it works I will definitely share the solution with you guys.

Thanks Anna! Looking forward to what you come up with.
