Returning to Menu on Question Slide
Mar 22, 2016
Hi everybody,
We have a module that is circular in nature, rather than linear. We have a main menu and users are free to choose which section of the menu they go to first. At the end of each section, we have a button with a trigger that allows the user to go back to the main menu and click through the other sections.
However, several of the sections end with question slides. The way we currently have the triggers set up, the user can click on a "continue" button when they receive feedback on the question that they answer. The continue button takes them back to the main menu.
However, if the user goes through that section twice, they do not see the feedback layers and therefore cannot go back to the menu and they get stuck.
Do you have any ideas of how we can get around this? We need the users to answer the question the first time they go through that section and get feedback on whether it was correct or incorrect. But we would also like them to have the opportunity to review sections and still go back to the main menu afterwards.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Whatever variable you are using to keep track of which sections they have visited can be used to skip the question if they have already visited it.
Thank you, Walt! However, we don't want the user to skip the question. Instead, it would be great if they still saw the question and what they answered, and were able to click on a "next" button to move forward..
You can add a next button and disable until the variable has been met as Walt shared above.
If you need us to take a look, please feel free to share the .story file.
Thank you, Leslie! Is there a way to hide that button until the variable has been met? I'm thinking of something along the lines of states and variables, but I'm having trouble making it work...
what i was thinking of doing was adding a "next" button
and then setting the initial status to "hidden"
and then creating a trigger or variable that changes status to "normal" when the user has seen either the correct/incorrect layer
would this be possible?
Yes. Set it to show the Next button when the timeline starts if the variable is true. The easiest way to change the variable is when the user clicks the submit button, but it must occur in the list above the "Submit" action
