Jumping positions to Cue point

Chiming in that this feature is necessary! Of course there are workarounds but it isn't ideal. Thanks!

Very disappointed that it has been over three years and we still don't have the ability to jump to time line cues.

Hi

I do not yet see a jump to Cue Point option available. This is a number of years later, how does one get around this or how is it implemented as this is vital when creating interactive videos.

Regards

Has there been any update on this?  i have a 4 minute slide with 3 topics on it.  The main audience is new hires - who need to listen to it all as one singular point, but for existing reps, I want it to be Just in Time learning...taking what they need when the need it if they need it. I don't want to rebuild this slide for the minority of users... but I still need to include those who are more advanced.  I wanted to set a hidden ToC on the slide that will pop out and contains the 3 topics where they can click on whichever they want - and it will take them to that point in the story slide to get the info that they need and then bring them back to the ToC when that section is done.  There are a lot of moving parts in this and the rebuild would be brutal.

Any thoughts?   Thanks as always for your help!

Hi Cathy,

Maybe if you share your file someone could come up with something based on the type of media and/or functionality (moving parts), but I'm not aware of an easy workaround on something like this.

You might have to break your content into separate layers, or slides, to be able to navigate between the different topics.

Agree with Scott on separate layers or slides... I hate to add more moving parts to your process but I've done something similar in the past where I ask them their role at the beginning (new hire, etc.) and store that away as a variable.

Then when I reach role-specific content, I direct a new hire to the full content slide, direct role "B" to a slide that only has content specific for that role, etc.

Basically branched navigation based on the value of the variable, then I usually bring the branches back together into the main path.

Hope this makes sense and helps!

Thanks all.  Was hoping not to have to reconstruct it, due to a looming deadline, but I think, deep down inside, I knew there wasn’t going to be another alternative if I wanted to do it right.  Like the idea of a variable....will try that next.  Thanks again.

Not as complex as yours, but here's a sample that does what you seem to be describing,

Thanks, Walt!  Looks great.  Can see many ways that we could leverage this in some developing courses.  

Great sample Walt - and for the LMS piece, I really like the new trigger in SL 360 that allows you to send course completion on a specific slide, or slides if you end your course on multiple branches.... https://articulate.com/support/article/storyline-360-course-completion-trigger

This feature request is YEARS old now.  Is there ANY chance of this basic/essential functionality ever being implemented??

I gave up requesting this highly useful feature years ago. It's a fundamental command whose importance and value  Articulate have neither acknowledged nor bothered to address. Pathetic. 

I saw your requests. Insane. It’s fundamental functionality. Given the cost of 360, the least they could do is offer reasonable reasons for getting nowhere surely? 🧐

Agreed, punting interactive video and not being able to jump to a cue point seems a bit counter-intuitive. P.s. Captivate allows jump-to-bookmark functionality (hmm..)

I guess it can depend on one's definition of interactive. If the intent is to only jump to a point in a single file, that might be considered low-level interactivity.

I've often thought of interactive video only meaningful to the user experience. When I've created activities of this nature, I thought of the video only as another form of media, like an image or audio clip. The videos were all separate clips that would end at a decision-making point. Depending on the choice the user made, they would then be served one of several possible "outcome" video clips. So basically multi-branching scenario with video as the main form of media.

In this case, the need for jumping to a point in a single file is not necessary and the workarounds mentioned above become the more logical way to go.

Hope it's food for thought anyway.

Thanks for adding your voice, folks. I recognize this is a longstanding request, but please know we've got our eye on it, and I'll bring it up with our Product team again. We'll definitely let you know if there's any forward movement on a "jump to cue point trigger" feature. Everyone who commented here will be notified immediately.

I'm currently testing out Storyline 360 (currently a Captivate user).  I too am missing this functionality in Storyline i.e. the ability to add interaction to a video by allowing users to jump to various time point within it.  Captivate has the ability to add named bookmarks to the video timeline and add click boxes that pause and jump to these bookmarks depending on the selection a user makes.  This allows me to create cool branching video scenarios where the user controls and selects the progression.  The video is linear, however the use of bookmarks on the timeline and click boxes gives the illusion of branching, with the user simply skipping through the video and jumping to the selected bookmarks.  On road testing Storyline I'm missing this extremely useful function that could be the deal breaker in moving from Captivate to Storyline.  The lack of such a useful function seems madness in this age of interactive video.

A "jump to cue point trigger" would be very useful. Adding another voice in favor of it and getting on the reply list. Thank you.

Also adding a comment in the hopes this will become a reality some day soon. A very frustrating limitation of storyline in this innovative age of learning!

Hello Adam and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

You're in the right place to get notified of any updates we have surrounding this feature request.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful. 

I first posted about this deficiency in 2013 ... good job I wasn't holding my breath.

Given the cost of a yearly subscription. It’s actually absurd that no action has been taken on this request in such a ‘vast’ passage of time.

I'm missing this functionality, too, in particular because there's also no simple way to toggle audio on/off by slide. I have lesson intro slides with audio and don't want the audio to repeat when a user returns to the lesson intro, but I also want the audio available if they replay the slide from the beginning. I thought I'd create a variable to jump the user to a cuepoint at the end of the timeline when they return. Please create this basic feature!
