Progress Tracker

Hi Pamela, welcome!

Can you give us a little more information so we can help get your question answered?

How did you build the progress tracker? On which specific devices do you plan on tracking a resume? 

Thanks for any further details you can provide

I built the tracker in Storyline and followed the steps in this link:

The training is designed for mobile users - iPad, smart phones, etc. When testing it does not seem to keep track once I exit and return.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, Pamela!

Can you tell me whether you've tried enabling the Resume feature already? 

Thanks for the link! That was helpful! I just set that up. I'll try it again.

I have another question. When I have layered slides, when I enable the Previous button, the layers all show as I go back when previewing. Is this because I am just publishing locally or should I disable the Prev button on layered slides?

Hi Pamela

The preview will be a near-identical representation of your published version, so if you don't want the user to go back through every slide layer, then yeah, you'll want to disable the Prev button.

Alternatively, you could build your own navigation buttons with triggers that take your users to whichever slide you'd prefer...

Thanks Peter! It seems that when I build slides with layers, after I view those slides all layers are visible on the base layer if I go to a previous slide and then page forward to that slide. Is that supposed to be how that works?

Hi Pamela!

You can try setting that slide's properties (small cog wheel in lower-right corner) to "Reset to initial state" when revisiting. If that doesn't seem to work, are you able to share your .story file so I can take a look?

Thanks!

Hi Peter

That seems to do the trick! Thanks! I have a lot of layers so I was worried. If I have more trouble, I'll upload the file for you.

Thanks

Pam

Awesome, Pam! Glad to hear it. Good luck with your project
