numbering of questions in quiz

Hi Jane

attached is a rough sample

create a number variable e.g. (qNum).  Add a trigger on the master to add 1 to variable when timeline starts on the slide.

On each quiz slide have a text box with Question %qNum% of 10. 

On result slide if you are allowing review or retry add trigger to reset variable to zero.

Hope this helps

Hi Wendy thanks for that - what if I have a couple of instruction slides before the quiz questions start? will that mess up the numbering if I put the trigger on the master ?

No Jane as long as the slide layout you have for the instruction slides is different to the quiz layout

Great so it knows to only apply to quiz slides - cool and thanks again

If you look at my sample file.  Click the View > Slide master tab and you will see 5 layouts.  The quiz slide layout has the trigger for the qNum, if you choose the blank layout or another layout for your instruction slides that trigger won't be on there so it won't affect the qNum variable

Gotcha - I had about 7 different layouts so deleted the ones that weren't being used and made sure the instruction slides were different and it worked well - thank you

Hi Wendy

I have worked out the numbering except the numbers are not resetting even though I have put the trigger on the results slide. If I review it doesn't reset and if I re-attempt it doesn't reset either - would you mind having a look?

Hi Jane

I'm not at my desk at the moment but trigger order is very important - make sure the reset qNum variable trigger is first before other jump triggers.

If that doesn't work, can you screenshot the trigger panel and post that and I'll take a look/

Hi Wendy thanks

I put the reset trigger first - maybe the trigger is not correct

Here is a screen shot of the results slide and failure layer

This trigger is incorrect  - the operator should be = assignment not add and I would put the trigger on the Review results button or on the fail layer on the Retry button. 

Ahh OK will try that 

Hi Jane

I've downloaded the file and made these changes to triggers:

Here is Peek of it working

What I normally do is put the Review button on the success layer (and fail layer at end of attempts if you want them to be able to) and the Retry button on the fail layer.  I don't have either of these buttons on the base layer - just reduces the number of triggers.

Result slide base layer

Result - success layer

Result - failure layer

Perfect!

Thanks Wendy
