Can someone help me please? I imported a PPTX to Storyline 2. I had one slide in PP that had 6 hyperlinks to other slides. When I imported the file from PPT to Storyline, the master and linked slides did come through (not the branching of course I had to edit that from the triggers.)
I now want to disable the next button until users visit each linked slide. I want the next but to be enabled after all of the links have been visited.
(the linked slide's prev. and next button have been removed) I added a button that only allows users to return to the master slide with all of the links.
Here is a sample file that requires the user to visit 4 slides before the custom Next button appears. You could easily change the state of the built-in Next to hidden when the timeline starts, and use the trigger that turns the Exit button visible to make the Next button visible.
Ok. I tried this but it just wouldn't work for me. I cannot understand why. For now I have placed verbiage on the slide which tells the user that they cannot advance until they have clicked each button.
I timed how long it takes to visit each slide and return to the "main slide" and disabled the next button until that time has passed.
I know that way doesn't force them to view it but its just a work around because I have to get this course and others out by the end of the day. Sigh.
I created a T/F variable to indicate viewing of each slide (View1, View2, etc.)
On each of the 6 slides, I put a trigger to set that variable to True when the user clicks on the Return button. (This could also be set to fire When the timeline ends, requiring them to spend a certain time there, but how would they know how long?)
On the Significance slide, I put a trigger to set Next to normal when the timeline starts if all 6 variables are true (they have visited all six slides).

Latoya,

Can you attach your .story file?
Here you go. The issues I am referring to begin on slide 14.
I can't open that with SL2 or PP. Can you send the .story file from SL2?
I am not sure how to do that. Where would I send it to?
I do see I can send via email. Let me try that.
Lets see. I noticed the extension did not read .story before. I think I sent my Articulate Studio file that time.
Just find where the Diversity in the Workplace.story is and come to the forum and attach it.
FYI: when you respond from your email, it adds your signature. If that is a problem, you can come to the forum and edit it.

If you reply by email, the attachment doesn't make it. You have to come to the forum to do an attachment.
Sigh, so many hoops :)
OK. I was able to attach the .story file. It is above. Do you see it? The issue I have been referring to begins on slide 14.
Yes, I'll take a look at it.
