Next button appearing early
Aug 07, 2017

Hi all,
I have a slide with 7 layers that you can get to from the main layer; layer 7 and 4 layers that need to be reviewed, too.
I want the learner to review all layers before advancing, so I have my next button hidden until all layers have been visited.
However, once you click on step 7 (bottom button), the next button appears. How do I delay this action until the 3 buttons on layer 7 are visited?
Attached is the file.

Hi Katie,
you were almost there. :D I added the conditions of your already created variables for your steps on layer 7 to your trigger which is "changing state of next button to notmal" (see attached file). Is this how it should work?

Hi Susi,
Thank you for your help; however, I'm not getting the next button once all buttons have been visited and conditions have been met.
Hi Katie
on layer 7 are option to go to layers 8a, 8b or 8c - a pick one of these option then depending on which the user chooses they go to layer 9? So how do they visit each of these?
No - 8a, 8b, and 8c go to step 9. Then the "return" button appears to go back to the main slide.
Hi Katie
see if attached works how you want
Hi Wendy,
I'd like to have the learners go back to the base slide (where steps 2-7 are) after they've reviewed steps 8a,b,c from step 7. Right now, the next button appears once they're finished with step 7 (which is correct), but I need it to stay hidden until steps 8a,b,c and 9 are visited, too.
Hi Katie
see if this works. There was no trigger on Step 7 to change the Return button to normal so I've added that in and moved the change Next button trigger to Step 7 instead of Step 9.
Hope that helps.
Wendy you are a genius! I had to add conditions onto the trigger on step 7 to check the base slide buttons were visited, too.
Thank you so so much.
Can I ask about your logic behind putting the trigger to change the state of the next button on Step 7 rather than the base slide?
Hi Katie
I put it on the layer where I want it to happen after it checks for specific conditions and in this case I may have misunderstood your base layer requirements - sorry I was focussed on 8a8b8c and 9...so there may have been a couple of ways to do it.
Hope the project goes well Katie.
