On a course that I was publishing to LMS, I wanted completion to be based on slide count. The Tracking tab said I had 78 slides. I set completion to 78 of 78. When I published to the LMS, we could not get a completion. I dropped the criteria to 77 of 78. No completion. Puzzlement. Suddenly, I realized the 78 slide total included the 8 light box slides I'd created for optional hints and info; what if the learner viewed none or only some of the light boxes? So I dropped the completion criteria to 68 of 78, and that solved everything. Perhaps a note on the Tracking tab on what is/isn't included in the slide total would be helpful.
Thanks for sharing Mark! Yeah, we had a similar issue before, which got solved by reducing the criteria of viewed slides. May I ask what type of SCORM you used for your LMS?
Yes, that would be possible. I'm beginning to think I made need to replace the light boxes with layers. That's too bad because it now requires me to manually create light box functionality... Question: is there a way to locate completion on a specific slide?
There isn't a way to indicate completion for each slide, it's based on the user accessing and viewing the slide and then it's marked complete.
Lightboxes and slides that the user may not see (such as one where you'd keep assets on a slide and it resides in a separate scene and users aren't navigating to it) all will count towards the total number of slides and completion.
Hi Ashley, yup, that's what I ran into. I'm just going to build in some layers that look and act like light boxes. That much said, it would be a nice enhancement to be able to define completion to a specific slide.

Thanks for such a prompt reply! I publish to SCORM 2004, 4th edition.
Mark, it is possible then that a user could view some of your lightboxes, but not all of the required slides, and still get a passing score?
Yes, that would be possible. I'm beginning to think I made need to replace the light boxes with layers. That's too bad because it now requires me to manually create light box functionality... Question: is there a way to locate completion on a specific slide?
I'm not sure... If you go the custom lightbox route, this should help you get started: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/creating-your-own-custom-lightbox-effect
