I have a process with buttons labeled 1-6 with corresponding layers. The triggers are set to show the layer based on the button that is clicked. As it is now, a learner can click to a layer in random rather than clicking them in order? I'd like to be able to force them to click in order. Futher, if once they have clicked a button, it would be nice if they could go back and click a previous button but not be able to skip to a later button?
I noticed in trigger wizard, there is an option for conditions. would that be the way to limit the navigation of the buttons? If so, it appears to be a text window. What commands do I need to enter to get the result need?
That can easily be done. Here is an example (not exactly what you're asking about, but the concept is the same) of a 'locked' navigation. In the beginning, only the first button is shown in Normal state, all others are in Disabled state. Clicking the first button, triggers a state change of the second button and so forth.
you could set each button (except 1) in an initial state of Disabled, then as layer 1 completes enable button 2, as layer 2 completes, enable button 3.
Thanks Michael. I went through the documentation. The problem is when I click on States, Edit States is grayed out as is the initial state pull down. My boss created the page. I just asked where she got the format for the page. I don't see it in the content library in 360. The directions make total sense if it wasn't grayed out!
I downloaded Vigor timeline...the objects are grouped so you need to select the arrow on the timeline to open the group and see the individual objects, then you will be able to access the states

Hi Carla

Thanks Wendy! Now, I've got to research on how to do that. I've been using Presenter for several years but just started using Storyline 360 last week.
There is so much to learn. I appreciate your quick response.
Here is some info on working with states of objects in Storyline.
Hi Carla
if you get stuck after reviewing the info Michael linked to - just upload your .story file and someone will surely chime in to assist you.

Any chance the objects that are clicked are Hotspots? Unlike other objects, hotspots don't have states.
I can't tell? I tried to attach the .story here but it won't post my reply so maybe the file is too big?
Ok, found out she used the Timeline interaction in the Vigor Template!
Here's a screen shot of the States area grayed out.
