Storyline 2- Submit popup

Hi Ahssan -- Thanks for reaching out with your question! Please check out this information on How to Customize the Invalid Answer Message and let us know if that will do the trick for what you have in mind! :)

Thank you that article helped. But I must admit I would have not figured it out on my own.
I would have not figured out that I had to change the Submit Interaction conditions. And that I had to drag it to the base in the trigger layer. A

Would a function that was say if none or any of the multiple choice is selected not make it easier? I had 8 checkbox and I had to create 16 conditions.
Anyways, thanks it was very helpful.

Hi the article helped but, I can't figure out how to apply that to a numeric entry.
In a follow up question I have a numeric entry.
Where sure has to enter an integer before submitting.
How do I set the condition to display the Custom Prompt layer?

Thanks

Ahssan

Hi Ahssan

not sure I understand the question.  The invalid popup message should display when the user clicks the submit button if they have not answered the question, so they have not made a MC selection or they have not entered text or numbers into a data entry quiz question.  What is happening for you now?

Feel free to upload your .story file or a few of the quiz questions  - might be easier for someone to help you.

Hi, Ahssan -- Glad to hear that the information provided helped, and I agree with Wendy: if you could please share your file so that we are better able to understand what you are hoping to accomplish, that would be really helpful! Please use the ADD ATTACHMENT button in the bottom left of the reply box and you can browse for your file from there. 

Also, as it appears that you replied via email, I wanted to note that your signature information is displayed publicly here in the thread. You are welcome to use the EDIT button beneath your post to remove those details if you wish. :)

Thank you, I really appreciate the help here.

Okay attached is the file. For the sake of context I have taken out all the pages that are not needed.

Q1 works just the way I want it to work. But I have trouble making Q2 work the same way.

1. Please not that in Q1 I have a condition that says change the state of the "Submit"  Button to normal once the user selects a input field.  I can not figure out how to do that for Q2.

2.  for Q2, I have entered some variables but it pops up the default page before it displays the custom "makeSelection" layer.

I am sure it is the coding but I am at this point just guessing inputting random options not really understanding. 

Hi, Ahssan -- My apologies for the delay in response as I was out of the office yesterday. Thank you for providing your file. I will check it out as soon as I have a chance and will be in touch with my findings. :)

Hi, Ahssan -- Many thanks again as I reviewed your file. I am seeing the behavior you have described, but I am also perplexed at what adjustment to make to Q2 to have it perform the same way as Q1. I am going to go ahead and forward your file to our Support Engineers for further investigation. I will be following along with your case to share relevant updates here in the thread for others who may have a similar issue, and you will be hearing from a member of the Support staff via email shortly. 

You would not be able to make the submit button active when they enter a value as the value is only transferred to the variable when the control lose focus.

You could make it active on click, unfortunately there is no way to trap the built in invalid answer in this question type.

Awesome, Phil -- your explanation and clarification are appreciated, and Ahssan, if you decide you no longer need assistance from our Support Staff, please feel free to let them know that they may proceed with closing your case. 

A possible, though a little clumsy,  work around could be to create a button to say "Save Score". Disable the submit button until the Save button  is clicked. Perform the check for yourself on the valid entry before allowing the user to submit the interaction.

I believe you could also just include the instruction to press the "Enter" key after typing the values. That will cause the field to loose focus.

Thank you everyone fort the feedback and help. I wanted the submit button to act intuitive and change color after a value is entered. But As Phil pointed out, it is not possible. I will not create an inconsistent interaction. So I will change the other ones. I am okay with that. -thanks phil

Butch the enter key does work but that is not common sense for my target audience and I don't want to add more instructions. It is okay, I can go without that. But i will have to test to make sure the enter key does not do anything I do not want it to do.

thanks

Okay part two is fixed. Here is how.

After creating the custom layer, In the Manage Project Variables tab, I have added a new variable called "EnterScore" with the DefaultValue "Enter Score"

I applied two Slide triggers:

1st Trigger: Submit interaction Numeric When Variable changes to NumericEntry.

2nd Trigger. Show Layer "Custom Layer" when the user clicks on the submit button with the condition of  "EnterScore == Equal to Enter Score.

This works. If anyone notices that this is not the proper way to do, please let me know.  SEE attached FYI

@ Butch, I know you mentioned enter key. I could not figure out how to make it prompt to the "Custom Layer" ( No attempts have been made).

thanks,

There is only one more problem:

If the user clicks on the Numeric field, but decides not to enter a value and clicks outside of the box, then the default message shows up again.

This feels like a bad nightmare where no matter what I do it keeps coming back in a one way or another. awww!!

Any ideas?

I wonder why this prompt message is not in the Master files to customize...

This may not work, try adding a trigger to adjust the variable to 0 on condition it is equal to 0 when the user presses submit. Make sure this trigger is before the submit interaction trigger.
