Preventing forward progress
Sep 28, 2015
Good Afternoon,
I currently am working on a rather large Distance Learning course. I have multiple scenes. I need to prevent forward progress (or jumping ahead) until previous scenes have been completed. With the menu on the side it makes it very easy to just go to the end and take a quiz instead of actually trying to learn and watch all of the content. I would also like to make parts of the menu unavailable at earlier stages is possible.
Thank you to the community for the help.
Dave

Hi Dave
you can set a restricted or locked menu to stop them progressing via the player menu.
See this post for more info

Hi Dave,
Here is the documentation for that in Storyline and information on how to set that up in the menu.
Question #1 (part b)
Thank you for the help on the first part of it, it worked great, not part 2 of this, I have a last scene that is a test. I would like to remove the menu completely so they cant leave the test (Go backward) I don't want to prevent them from going backward in the previous scenes.. just the final one. This possible?
Hi David!
You can choose to not display the menu on some slides:

Hey thank you big help... is there any way I can do multiple "Question" slides at the same time? Storyview doesn't work with questions.
You would still want to utilize Storyview to do this quickly. I'm not sure what you mean by it doesn't work with questions?
I think David might be referring to question bank which doesn't show individually in Storyview.
Oh, perhaps so Wendy.
David - if that's the case, just be sure to view the Question Bank, and you can adjust those slides accordingly in the same way I shared above.
thank you... Unfortunately I could adjust each slide 1 at a time. I was hoping to do more slides at once. (180 questions total)
I should clarify that it doesn't work with question banks
Ah, that is a lot of questions David :)
That is nothing. :) we are a DoD military school and build Distance Learning classes that can be 40+ hours. We are trying to transition from (adobe) to Storyline.
Brutal!
I do have a bunch more questions. should I make a new question on here for each of them? Sorry they are more advanced things about varibles needed for a Custom LCMS. (example: I need to send the LCMS a page number so I can have a student return to the same page they left from if they log back on a week later)
You may get more assistance from the community if you begin a new thread. That way the title is applicable to your question.
Thank you. on a quick note... Someone needs to suggest that question Bank questions be able to formatted like a master slide. I have to edit each one individually and It is a HUGE pain when you have more than 100 questions.
That someone could be you David. Anyone is welcome to share thoughts with product development here.
