Quiz Timer - Would like to add the Quiz Timer to my Results slide
I've been able to add a Quiz Timer to my project and that's great, but would like to add the stopped timer to the Results Slide so that it is bigger and not the small, tiny version in the top right corner of the player. Is there a variable to use for that? Or code? etc? I've attached a pic of the quiz timer as it is seen on the player. (p.s. This is NOT a countdown timer, it counts up.)
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, Tracey.
Thank you for reaching out!
Have you considered using the ElapsedTime variables?
Here are some resources to get you started:
- Storyline 360: Elapsed Time Variables
- 3 Reasons You’re Going to Love Elapsed Time Variables in Storyline 360
You could keep your quiz in one scene, and then, right before the Results slide, you can assign the variable scene.ElapsedTime to another one, which you can reference on your slide.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
Maria, Yes, but I need a way to display the elapsed time in the course, not just get it in a report. I like the timer for the Timed Quiz but it's too small in the upper-right corner. I'd like to get that variable so I could use it larger on the page. Do you know what that variable is?
Hi, Tracey.
You can add a reference to the variable, which will show the value on the slide. You can change the font to make it larger as well.
I created a short (4 minutes) Peek 360 recording showing my suggestion. Below you will also find a discussion with additional details (for example, if you would like to use Javascript to round up/down the time and remove the decimals):
I hope this helps!
