New to using Articulate, and while I've set up my question pool so students will answer questions in a random order, I can't figure out how create a progress indicator, i.e. "X of 12 questions".
What do I need to do with variables to achieve this?
To begin, you will need to create a number variable (called 'QuestionCount' or something similar) and set the starting value to 0.
On each question slide you will need to do the following:
Add a trigger that adds 1 to the 'QuestionCount' variable when the timeline starts
Insert a reference to display the current result of the variable i.e. "Question %QuestionCount% of 3"
If your users are allowed multiple attempts at the assessment, you will also need to add a trigger that resets the variable back to 0 - how your project is set up will determine where this trigger is added but in my example attached, I have added it to the 'Retry Quiz' button on the results slide.
Thank You for this question and for the response! I just finished converting my 1st quiz using Articulate Storyline couldn't find any built-in functionality for displaying quiz progression. Very surprised that this isn't an included function of the Player, but okay!
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! I'm glad Antony was able to assist you here, and Regina if you'd like to see this as built in functionality I'd recommend you submit a feature request to our team.

The .story attachment was very helpful.
