Self-assessment variables

Dec 14, 2023

Hi team, 

I need help!

I'm creating a leadership competency self-assessment, in which learners need to identify gaps in their learning from a 3-point range (development needed, meets expectations, exceeds expectations). 

There are 11 competencies in total. I created just one to make sure I get the variables working properly - which they are not and are driving me crazy. 

Once learners go through the different competencies, the result slide will highlight the areas for improvement. Learners click on the highlighted area and find out which modules/topics they need to go through. 

My question is: How do I make the number variable talk to the result slide? 

Please help this desperate soul.

Thanks in advance!

The problem is the "when" in the trigger on the results slide. It's set to run "When DRscore changes." However, that variable change happens on a different slide. A trigger only "sees" a variable change when it happens on the same slide. 

Change the trigger so it runs when the timeline of the results slide starts, and it will work.

You're welcome, Gabi. 

I think most Storyline users have had the wrong "when" in a trigger at some point, so welcome to our very large club. 😁
