I want to track clicks within a slide in Storyline and from my understanding, xAPI is the thing that can accomplish that. Here's my situation:
I have five statements on slide 1 tied to 9 modules on slide 2. If the user selects statement 1, they must complete modules 1-4 on slide 2. If the user selects statement 2, they must complete modules 4,6 and 7 on slide 2 and so on. How can I track which statement the employee clicked on? Is there a way I can tell if they selected statement 1 vs. statement 2, all withing the same slide in Storyline?
Our LMS will be adding xAPI functionality early next year, but I wanted to get a jump on things in order to hit the ground running. What do I need to consider and what don't I know that I don't know?
Is there a way to track clicks within a slide in Storyline? From what you know, is there future functionality within xAPI that will allow tracking at that level?
Is this still the case, even with Storyline 2, that it doesn't support the granularity deeper than than the slide? I'd like to have xAPI track whether the user clicked on the play/pause button, or scrubbed through the video.
Yes, this is still the case with Storyline 2 - and if you'd like to see additional enhancements to Storyline's API you're welcome to share your thoughts in a feature request.
hi there - this is really interesting - i see that this thread is old, but perhaps this is a feature whcih is now enabled in Storyline360? tracking mouse clicks in the course, i mean?
This hasn't been a feature that has made it's way to our roadmap yet! I'm happy to share this with our product team. Would you mind sharing the challenge or pain point you'd like us to solve with the feature? I'll add your comments to our feature report and then share it with our product team!
For what it's worth. there's tracking that can be done with variables and triggers regarding clicks. Numerical counters that go up by one every time a certain menu option is clicked, for example.
We've had a lot of luck on my team making shape elements 100% transparent. As long as they have a fill (don't select No Fill), then they'll still be clickable. At that point, you can use them as invisible hit boxes and attach triggers.

It will still only track by slides viewed or a results slide, Storyline will not track clicks within a slide.

I think this is possible in Tincan but at the moment storyline does not support this level of granularity
Thanks Phil for helping out Jonathan here
Much appreciated
