'Jump to' trigger jumping to layer and not the base slide
Jul 19, 2018
Hi there,
I'm currently working in Storyline 360. I have a project with multiple scenes. The main scene has six team task slides, and for each task slide there is a corresponding quiz/question scene.
On the base layer of each team task slide are the listed tasks.
When a task is clicked the relevant task layer is shown.
Each task layer has four buttons - one is a 'Test your understanding' button. When the 'Test' button is clicked the learner jumps to the relevant question scene.
Within each question is a button called, "Pick another task". The purpose of this button is to go back to the relevant task (base) slide (image 1). I'm using the 'Jump to slide' trigger but the module jumps to the task layer (image 2), and not the base (image 1). The client has tested the published module on their LMS and the same thing happens (jumps to the layer instead of the base slide).
Any thoughts on how I can force the module to jump to the base slide, bypassing the layer?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Kerry
instead of jump to slide, try the hide layer trigger, that should hide the layer the user is on and return them to the base layer (as long as the other prior layers have been closed).
Thank you Wendy for replying so quickly.
I should have been more clear. The question on a separate slide within a different scene. So I'm jumping from, say, 7.3 e-devices Q1 to 1.14 Task list.
Hi Kerry
still - I suspect if it's opening up on a layer that means that the layer wasn't closed after it displayed the first time.
There aren't sneaky triggers on the master slides that might be causing angst?
Can you strip out some of the content and send through a sample few slides - hard to say without seeing the setup.
Thank you Wendy, I really appreciate any help you can give me. I've attached a stripped down version of the module.
Cheers
Hi Kerry
see if the attached works - I added a trigger to the Test your understanding rectangle...not sure if that's what you were after
Ahhhh ... I see what you did there! Adding a 'Hide the layer' trigger to the 'Test' button is a brilliant idea. I notice that there's a flicker of the base slide before it jumps to the question slide. So I thought I'd try changing the order of the triggers for this button (to 'Jump to slide' first, and then 'Hide this layer'), it does stop the flicker but the same issue occurs (from the question slide it jumps back to the layer, not the base).
Thank you so much for your solution. I'll keep playing with it, I'm sure I'll find a way to make it work now that you've got me out of my little rut. Thank you again.
Yes, because you have the 'hide layer' on the hotspot that will only hide it if they click that hotspot - if they click any other rectangle to go elsewhere that's where you'd need to double up.
Glad that will help you get going :-)
