Page variables

Jan 26, 2018

I am working on a course I inherited from another designer and they have set up a page numbering system on their slides that tracks and displays the total number of pages and the current page. - The total number of pages (slides)displays using a variable.

It looks like this:

3 of %totalPages%

Is there a variable for the current page that I can enter so I don't have to manually enter the number of the current slide on every slide of this lesson?

Steve

PS - If it's %currentPage% I'll be doing a face plant...

Also, is there a list of available variables that can be used with Storyline?

There are no real system variables (There is one for captions) I expect currentPage is a variable that is being changed on each slide using a trigger, unfortunately you will have to enter the number on each page, but should be able to do this is Story View quickly

Hi Steve,

When it comes to system variables, Storyline is not designed to expose them. You can read a bit more about that here.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!
